Which Tcl with 1.6

[Jonathan Gilligan]

Under WinNT 4.0 (SP5), with VC++ 6.0 (SP3) I have had good success building
_tkinter with tcl 8.1 and 8.2, doing nothing more than applying Dieter
Saurer's patches to _tkinter.c and tkappinit.c (they have been merged into
the Python anonymous cvs repository, or you can search under tkinter and
Dieter Saurer on deja news). Then you need to manually edit
Lib/lib-tk/FixTk.py to replace references to tcl80.dll, tclpip80.dll and
tk80.dll with your local equivalents.The CVS log claims that the patch to
tkappinit does not work under Tcl 8.2, but I have had no problem so far
running a number of the demos and running PIL with it.

Has anyone tried tkinter with 8.2 on other platforms?
