Hi,

I don’t know about development on MacOS X Tiger.  
To make tcltklib for Aqua except X11, is the following patch to  
‘ext/tcltklib/extconf.rb’ ( or ‘ext/tk/extconf.rb’) required?  
Or is it nonsense?  
If it is not nonsense and you can try it, please try it with  
“–enable-macosx-aqua” configure option and teach me the result.

Preferably, please try on Ruby1.8.4-preview.  
If it is valid, I want to adopt it for the next release of Ruby.
