For a variety of reasons--including needing the x11 version of TclTk  
8.5 for some other things--I had to get rid of the symlinks. This  
means I'm back to modifying platform.make

This works fine for GRASS 6.5. So what has changed for 7 in this  
regard? I guess I can explicitly set the path to the frameworks in the  
configure line and see what happens.
