Its configure.in is hardcoded to check for 42, 41, 80 (in that order) with autoconf's AC_CHECK_LIB function. > * 1) Has any way of writing the LIB_DEPENDS been decided upon, > * yet?

I'm thinking about this from a package-building standpoint. The package will automatically link against tk42 instead of tk41/tk80 if tk42 is installed. I guess it would be best to depend on tk42, but put a note in the Makefile that it can automatically configure for tk41 or tk80 instead. (It doesn't use dynamically loadable tcl modules since that would complicate compiling on Cyg-Win95) -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
