The Tk interface was a unix-only hack.
Since there was no win32 support for
OpenGL widgets, we moved to glut/freeglut
as an everywhere available toolkit.

Since then, Prima has added OpenGL support
and our understanding of the issues has
improved so support for more GUI toolkits
is planned with the next major refactoring
of OpenGL and TriD.

I think it will happen this spring but my time
in cuurently tied up by PDL-2.4.10 and there
are no other OpenGL developers at the
moment.

You can always revert to PDL-2.4.3 which still
used the unix-only build but you'll lose a lot
inevery other way.

Cheers,
Chris
