Note that you don't need to re-compile anything to use a different
version of Tcl/Tk for gis.m. You just need to force it to use the
appropriate version of wish. Setting the GRASS_WISH environment
variable to point at a specic version of wish may be sufficient.

The only parts of GRASS which need to be compiled for a specific
version of Tcl/Tk are NVIZ, v.digit, and the form library used by
NVIZ, v.digit, d.what.vect and v.what.

Also, NVIZ needs to use the same "platform" for both Tcl/Tk and
OpenGL. You can't use --with-opengl=aqua with an X11 version of
Tcl/Tk, and vice versa.
