Hi Andrew:

In reply to your previous post, thanks for confirming those segfault
issues when the recommended stubs versions of the Tcl/Tk libraries are
used.  It will be most interesting if those issues disappear if Arjen
replaces (post-release) our use of the non-recommended versions of the
Tcl/Tk API with the recommended versions.

More below.

Did our build system warn about those version inconsistencies?  And if
so, could you straighten out CMake finding Tcl/Tk library versions
that were inconsistent with tclsh by using CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH?

If the answers to both questions are "yes", then I think that is
probably the best we can do unless we completely replace the
CMake Tcl/Tk find module with our own.
