Hi Geoffrey:

Thanks for your understanding of that difficult release management issue.

The code will remain and also all the build-system machinery for it.  The
only change is that Tk, itk, and itcl will have to be specifically enabled
with the cmake options -DENABLE_tk=ON -DENABLE_itk=ON -DENABLE_itcl=ON in
order to build those PLplot components.  I also plan to put a warning
paragraph about the whole Tk situation in the release notes.
