It appears that the other files aren't compiled if you use
--without-tcltk. In that case, F_open() won't exist, so d.what.vect
won't compile.

It appears that the changes to lib/form need to be reconsidered, e.g.
making the functions in open.c stubs rather than just omitting them
when Tcl/Tk isn't enabled.
