Please leave for now. I have part of a change in my tree to add the
not-really-freely-licensed 8.x alongside a BSD-licensed version (6 at
first, maybe 7.2 later). This involves a directory reorganisation so
I have a bunch of cvs add'ed dirs etc which will be annoying to fix.
Anyway, wouldn't it be better to set the default to 8.6 in the Tcl/Tk
modules, and set to use 8.5 in the various ports where 8.6 doesn't work
or hasn't been tested?
