The problem is that a full solution actually requires more than just
tcl.h and the library. For Tcl you also need to worry about TCL_LIBS
and TCL_LD_FLAGS - jld ran into problems in this area a couple of
weeks back trying to build statically-linked versions of the tools.
Tk requires TK_LIBS.

Ok.

On Unix-like systems there is really no sensible
alternative to processing tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh.

According to the debian report that Sergei posted tcl.m4 is used instead. From a quick look, it appears other projects copy it from the TCL source distribution into their repository as-is and use it. e.g.
https://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia/ticket/176

OTOH, another post in that thread was this:
