[GRASS-dev] Re: GUI support for TclTk 8.5

[William Kyngesburye]

I can build an OSX GRASS app with TclTk 8.5 for others to test, and  
try it myself.

If we intend to support multiple versions of TclTk, it would be  
helpful to have a TCLTKVER variable in Platform.make for the  
configured major.minor version.
