Why do we have a function in setupext.py called "hardcoded_tcl_config()"?
In any case, it looks like all I needed to do was change the default value
for line 156 to be the prefix location of my miniconda install, and things
started to work again!

Perhaps we need to take another look through setupext.py, and try to get it
using prefixes more (or at least consolidate all of these hard-coded values
into one place!)

Cheers!
