TkInter/McMillan installer question.

[Rune Hansen]

If my memory (and McMillans documentation) servers me right you'll have 
to install win32all from
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ to get the -icon option to 
work. You should definetively install win32all if you are going to work 
on the win* platform at all. I'm certain it will help with your 
"disapointments".
