This is another reason to upgrade AOLserver to use autoconf 2.50+ --
since AOLserver's build uses Tcl's build as a basis, until we switch
AOLserver to use autoconf 2.50+, we may not be able to build AOLserver
against Tcl 8.5.

Yes, the speed and size issues are annoying, but presumably there are
ways to turn a lot of the default checks off, I hope.
