 I tested with vanilla 8.6.12 and with various subsets of the pkgsrc
 patches. It's patch-unix_Makefile.in. It changes the installation so
 that these files go away
 
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/include: tclTomMath.h
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/include: tclTomMathDecls.h
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/lib/tcl8/8.4/platform: shell-1.1.4.tm
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/lib/tcl8/8.4: platform-1.0.18.tm
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/lib/tcl8/8.5: msgcat-1.6.1.tm
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/lib/tcl8/8.5: tcltest-2.5.3.tm
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.orig/lib/tcl8/8.6: http-2.9.5.tm
 
 and are replaced by these directories
 
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.patched/lib/tcl8.6: http
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.patched/lib/tcl8.6: msgcat1.6
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.patched/lib/tcl8.6: platform1.0
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.patched/lib/tcl8.6: shell1.1
 Only in tcl8.6.12-inst.patched/lib/tcl8.6: tcltest2.5
 
 The binaries are identical. When I create a merged install where all
 these files/dirs are present, removing msgcat-1.6.1.tm is the killer to
 break R-tcltk2 install without X11.
 
 I am puzzled as to why we change the installation structure of these
 modules, anyway.
