Yes, because the aqua framework does not install lib symlinks - there  
is nothing to link to using -ltcl -ltk.  So we must use the -framework  
flags.

Tcltk aqua is half a framework, in effect, because the includes are  
not quite right.  It may be considered a bug, but the tcltk developers  
may just have been lazy and expect us to use -I flags.  It doesn't  
seem to bother anyone to do so, or it would have been noticed and  
fixed long ago.
