It gets everything else correct, where the libs are, where the includes
are, etc - the Makefile is otherwise fine except that it wants -tcl
instead of -ltcl80, which after a few tests doesn't seem to matter. In
fact.. as far as I can tell everything is just fine except that when
tcltklib is included as an extension I get that strange error with a
static compilation. Also, ext/tcltklib/lib/tcltk.rb is almost entirely
written in japanese, while nearly all other .rb files are not - indeed the 
only other one which has tcltk.rb's level of japanese characters is one of
tcltklib's samples ;-) though, ruby doesn't appear to have any problem
parsing it.

On the lighter side: I can use ruby again ;-) .. just not the tk end of
it, sadly.

thanks,
