The current version of tcltkgrass is 'early-alpha' status,
which is why there are no readme or other documentation files.
A new version will be coming out sometine in mid-may.

You do no need to recompile grass to use tcltkgrass.  There
are 2 parts to tcltkgrass.  The first is an alternate grass
shell written in Tcl and Tk.  This shell interacts with the
standard grass commands, and makes use of the standard grass
monitor for display.  All you need to run this is a standard 
grass installation and a working 'wish' (Tcl/Tk interpretor).

The second part of the package is a Tk widget that can display 
some kinds of grass datasets (raster, vector, sites).  An example 
of how this widget can be used is provided in the 'Super View' demo.  
The Tk widget is written in C.  It must be compiled and linked with 
the object code for Tcl, Tk, and Grass to create an extended 'wish'.
