Comment (by cal@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 egall@…]:
 > Perhaps there could be a "`--with-bundled-tcl`" flag for the configure
 script to control whether the bundled tcl gets built or not?
 > Or a "`--with-tcl-prefix=`" flag to control which already-installed copy
 of Tcl gets used, if any?

 That increases the possibility for misconfigurations (such as choosing Tcl
 8.6), increases the complexity required in order to get the blessed tclsh
 load the macports source from the correct path (which we could just rip
 out and be done with in the current state, because we control the Tcl
 library path) and is generally even more autoconf work to do, which I'd
 like to avoid.

 > There are already precedents for both in MacPorts, as I remember there
 being a "`--with-included-tclthread`" flag previously, and there are also
 "`--with-curlprefix`" and "`--with-sqlite3prefix`" flags for choosing the
 prefix of curl and sqlite3 respectively...

 Check again, those no longer exist.
