OK, I installed an isolated 2.13 and it works as expected.  I guess  
I'll keep it around for GRASS.

I updated configure[.in] + some makefiles in dev6 branch so that  
configure + compile works on OSX for a 64bit build with a 32bit TclTk  
Aqua.

Configure was a bit messy, since the saving of LDFLAGS happens within  
the AC test macro.
