>Description:
Many applications that depend on tcl.h and tk.h break because
the headers are not where they are expected to be.
The headers should in /usr/local/include.
Instead headers are placed in 
/usr/local/include/tcl${VERSION}
and
/usr/local/include/tk${VERSION}
These files may be there to prevent name-space
collision when several application (each) require
a different version of TCL or TK.
While the short turn problem has been solved
no clear information is available as to what to do.
Hence, if a 'make' breaks or 'configure' breaks,
the end user has no clear direction. Even investigating
the binaries offers very little help.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install an application that is not in the packages
or ports collections. Example, TkRATrc7.
Currently, this Application is not in the packages.
TkRATrc3 is.
