I'd say keep using the included Wish in mac/stuff. It's Tk 8.4 and still works 
fine. Then we can work out the kinks in the sizing for the next release and 
bring in Deja Vu Sans Mono cross platform. I was hesitant to push that for this 
release as it obviously still needs some attention and testing. I've tried a 
few fixes now and then, but nothing stuck so far. Frankly, there were many 
other things that came up first.

Any mac TK 8.4 Wish will work, I think. The included one in mac/stuff or the 
one bundled with macOS. The default behavior for "make app" is to use the 
traditional, included one to match your previous releases. The system one can 
be had with:

mac/osc-app.sh -s 8.4 0.48.0
