* --enable-aqua build for Mac OS X is now a Cocoa implementation.
* Support has been added for Cygwin network pathnames.
* Updated to Unicode 6.2 support. Fixes for several crashes and bugs.
tcl_platform(machine), instead of using $MACHINE there.
This is in preparation for reverting the recent change
to the net/tcl-scotty PLIST.
Bump PKGREVISION.
The runpath of the TCL_LIB_SPEC was missing as compared to version 8.4,
so the configure script was altered to add it back.
Also, the CONFIGURE_ARGS for thread options had unrecognized arguments.

Highlights of Tcl 8.5
* Features: 8.5 has over 90 TIPs included to provide a wide variety of
new features.
* Bignums: Tcl now supports arbitrary-precision integers, which improves
math operations on large integers.
* Safer interps: Tcl's powerful safe interpreter mechanism now has
improved control of time and command limits in slave interpreters.
* clock command: More robust implementation of command for specifying
time, with significant l10n and i18n improvements.
* dict command: New data structure that allows access to data by value
rather than a variable name, which is substantially faster.
* Additional improvements: Faster list search, new and improved
mathematics procedures, anonymous procedures, new ways to package Tcl
extensions, Tcl-level custom channel types, file and line location
information for each command, and more.
There is of course much, much more.
See [8.5 Changes](http://wiki.tcl.tk/10630) on the wiki for a complete
list of new features.

Remove the --mandir setting for CONFIGURE_ARGS as this is
now done by default (for GNU_CONFIGURE).
Remove the man page staging from post-install (and the
comment about this). The maintainer told me this was
a workaround for older versions of tcl and that it is
fixed now.
to follow the principle of least surprise between the packages and the
mainstream builds.
Approved by jwise@.
Bump PKGREVISION of lang/tcl, x11/tk, x11/tk83 to 1 and of lang/tcl83 to 2.
NetBSD/i386 2.0_STABLE and current: set timezone in TEST_ENV, use
libtool to compile shared test modules and account for that in the
Tcl test scripts.
Thanks to jwise@ for the helping hand.
to the build environment, which of course no longer exists once we
install the file. Also make sure that variables are set using
double quotes, so that variables inside are expanded. Ok jwise@.

tcl packages assume that this directory exists and never delete it

recent bulk builds. Bump PKGREVISION.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.

(by extension). Evidence suggests there is (at best) a bad interaction
between pth and the thread memory allocator inside tcl, as witnessed by
the tcl-scotty's package failure to install if threads is enabled on
1.6.2_STABLE/i386. Interestingly, the version with native threads on
2.0_BETA/alpha works just nicely.
through, unacceptably breaks threaded apps, and was made without consulting
the package's maintainer.
To quote my mail to packages@:
I am reversing this change.
With this change, tcl is _not_ usable in threaded apps, while without
this change, tcl is perfectly usable in non-threaded apps.
The fix for a package which is incorrectly written is not to break the
package it depends on, but do your job correctly when writing the
package.
With buildlink3, this is mind-numbingly easy to do.
That you neither contacted the maintainer of this package, nor did the
buildlink and dependent package changes which your change requires shows
that you have not really thought this through.
So, as I said, I am reversing this change. Fix your own package, don't
break others.
libtcl.so/libtk.so (whether linking it in or dlopen() it) must be linked
against libpthread. This is something we can't guarantee.
Fixes bulk build error in py-imagingtk and numerous runtime problems.
that accumulates within itself with a do-nothing version because it tried
to re-use LDFLAGS for another purpose. This broke all library checks after
the "checking for ELF" step. Fix this by (duh) not re-using LDFLAGS but
by using a different variable. Bump the PKGREVISIONs of lang/tcl and
x11/tk.
This fixes building the threaded versions of tcl and tk.
