hm. I guess, why is it not integrated into 'configure'? ie - why can't you
say

configure --enable-tcl

and download the tcl package separately? Personally I don't want to have a gui
on top of gdb (for that I use ddd), but I *would* want the extra syntax power
that tcl embedded into gdb would give me.
