Ok. Having never played with autoconf, I think I got it anyway. I do
have a minor problem, tho, as I've never gotten tk/tcl to compile cleanly
with PostgreSQL. It can never find tcl.h and tk.h unless I play with the
makefiles. Whatever the case, attached is a diff for configure.in I hope
we can get it tested by a few different platforms. Also would someone
take a look at the --help text for it? I guess it's ok but not exactly
the clearest. I'm also going to take another look at why the header
files for tk/tck are getting missed.
