 I have Tk 8.5.5 installed.  I am trying to run an application (GRASS) and
 the new version (6.4 is the development version that will be released
 soon) requires the "Aqua framework" Tk.
 I tried rebuilding Tk with +quartz.  But the binary application that I am
 trying to use (one piece of GRASS) is not finding the correct libraries,
 because it is looking for frameworks.  The person who does the binaries
 suggested that I install the ActiveTcl distribution, but that seems silly,
 given that I already have the MacPorts TclTk installed.
 So, I am wondering if there is any way to make this installation work?  Is
 there something that can be done with Tk to have it also build frameworks?
 There is a "--enable-frameworks" flag as part of TclTk.  Is it possible to
 make a "framework variant" of Tk?
