Some third-party projects, such as matplotlib and PIL/Pillow,
depended on being able to build with Tcl and Tk frameworks in
/Library/Frameworks.  They were unable to build with the built-in
Tcl/Tk and/or execute correctly.

This mitigates the current Aqua Tk refresh problem on OS X 10.9
by backporting 2.7.x behavior and is transparent to the user.

Make it easier for users to make use of the backup _tkinter linked
with the third-party Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks.
The two tkinter variants are now installed in separate directories
under a new lib-tkinter.  This allows per-user selection by
manipulating sys.path, directly or with PYTHONPATH.  If this
proves useful, we can supply a more convenient user interface
to supply the paths.  For now, this remains somewhat experimental.

of OPT for special build options.  By setting OPT, some compiler-specific
options like -fwrapv were overridden and thus not used, which could result
in broken interpreters when building with clang.

to install a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 to work around the
problems in the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped in OS X 10.6
and later releases.

when building _tkinter.  configure has two new options; if used, both must
be specified:

  ./configure \
      --with-tcltk-includes="-I/opt/local/include" \
      --with-tcltk-libs="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.5 -ltk8.5"

In addition, the options can be overridden with make:

   make \
       TCLTK_INCLUDES="-I/opt/local/include" \
       TCLTK_LIBS="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6"
