One other solution is to make a symbolic link from libtcl8.1.so to
libtcl.so, and when you upgrade tcl, you update the symbolic link so
libtcl.so always points to the most recent version. Do the same with
libtk, tcl.h and tk.h. That is what BSDI does.

Just to let you know, pgaccess works fine under BSDI. I use versions
tcl7.5 and tk4.1.
