I last rewrote the Tcl/Tk detection routines, but did not touch add_tk_flags(), which is definitely the grungy heart of this problem. On that function I am unfortunately as clueless as the rest.

In response to Jon's comment: Many systems have broken t*Config.sh scripts, for example way back on cygwin. My current Mac OS X 10.4.11 installation has the following in tkConfig.sh: TK_PREFIX='/Users/andreask/dbn/lba/night/builds/macosx-ix86/out' Mmmm. So exclusive use of these files are also not an option... We need to deduce the include dir from the library dir returned by the tk.getvar() or tcl.getvar() calls in some robust(?) way.
