I am ignoring the moanings of brew doctor.  I generally try and avoid compiling 
R packages if at all possible, and I never used stuff that uses tcl/tk (that I 
know of).  My main concern is that I want to install SciPy and Python 3 
(assuming this can be done in a way that will not get Mavericks throw a fit) 
and that might — or not — get some tcl/tk action in.  If not, R.app and HB can 
live together for all I care.

Best
