Scid for PC relies on Tcl /Tk 8.4. I only ported Scid for Pocket PC to
Tcl/Tk 8.5, but on Linux, Tcl/Tk 8.5 is not wide spread enough.

So the question is : does Scid binaries run out of the box with Tcl/Tk 8.5 ?
I don't know, I have never tried but I have doubts on it simply because the
lib stubs will check versions and should refuse to work (even if a simple
hexedit subst 8.4 to 8.5 should do the trick, yes I already did stuff like
that ;-) ).

So if on Mac Os, Tcl Tk 8.5 is there, to port Scid is easy to do and
requires a few simple changes to the Makefile (for example  setting
TCL_VERSION = 8.5). You don't have to change anything in Scid's code.
