The patch is versus the actual Ruby Tk libs, not the demos.  The demos
trigger this because they explicitly include tkencoding.rb which has been
folded into later tk.rb versions.  I've got a partially patched version
using a cruder test versus RUBY_VERSION that avoids the loop on some but
not all of the versions I've tested.  I'll roll up a new tarball using the
test Guy suggested below and put it on the RAA tonight.

Sad to say this is the bug that got me poking around in the Tk demos (and
thus inheriting the maintainer-ship).  With only a partial fix and a lack
of time I've left it broken.
