Sorry for being late to the game, but I just checked out 2.3 and
--with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.6 fails with 
Error: Boolean option with-tcl given as --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.6

Due to http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/27e65b0730314d0b.

I still don't understand why that was needed and what it's supposed to fix.
