Release notes: http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.4.html
This is the twentieth and *FINAL* patch release of Tcl/Tk 8.4.
With this release, support for Tcl/Tk 8.4 comes to an end.
These ports are going to be deprecated soon. Please use 8.5 or 8.6.
were set based on WRKSRC instead of PREFIX.
This mainly affected TEA-based extensions that source tclConfig.sh /
tkConfig.sh to set important variables. An example is TCL_SRC_DIR, which
is used to locate Tcl/Tk private header files such as tclUnixPort.h or
tkUnixPort.h. This variable was previously set to WRKSRC, which caused
ports to need additional tweaks to CFLAGS or CONFIGURE_ARGS.
It should now be possible to build TEA-based extensions by specifying only
the CONFIGURE_ARGS --with-tcl=${TCL_LIBDIR} / --with-tk=${TK_LIBDIR}.

resolves conflicts.
Threaded libraries and shell are installed on top of the standard ones
so ports that depend on threaded and non-threaded tcl can be used
simultaneously.
Behaiviour with non-threaded libraries does not change.

as disable socket.test in this case. Some of the TCL's self-tests attempt to
open a socket to (or request http-data from) a "dead" port on the localhost.
These tests expect a quick failure, but get a hang, when the blackhole is on.
Tests in http.test use a timeout, but some of those in socket.test do not...
Pointed out by: confusion on ports@
. add recognition of the BSD-specific SIGINFO signal (to be
submitted to authors);
. avoid even extracting the compat/ subdirectory for fear
of picking up a wrong declaration for a function defined
in a system library;
. force to use the system strstr() instead of building TCL's
own (from compat/strstr.c);
. similarly, use the system memmove() instead of the (identical)
bcopy;
. run the vendor's tests as part of the build -- the test failures
are not fatal, but may help investigate problems;
. fix up the two failing tests so that none currently fail on my two
test systems (FreeBSD-6.1-STABLE i386 and amd64) (fixes submitted
to authors);
. quiet down the noisy warning, triggered in the thread-case by
the re-#define of inet_ntoa() in tclUnixPort.h.
Bump PORTREVISION.
Tcl sources to be available at Tk build-time. Only a few headers
are actually needed and they are installed by Tcl port under
$LOCALBASE/include/tcl8.x
