Ah, a lot better than my quick attempt. Thanks. The question just

better under with_tcl to just provide the libpgtcl.so stuff only? And,
is there still any Tk/X11 stuff distributed with PostgreSQL which we
also install?

I think the Tk stuff should be incorporated (it's the only reason I ever do
anything with tcl).

There's also perl::Tk, my primary GUI scripting tool.

The only application of pgtcl I am aware of is pgaccess which requires Tk.
I also haven't seen anybody who installs Tcl but drops Tk.

Wait, I think we talk of different things here. Sure, Tcl with Tk
is cool. What I mean is: AFAIK pgaccess is _NOT_ distributed with
PostgreSQL anymore. There is only the glue library libpgtcl and
a possible pgtclsh. Neither one requires Tk, only plain Tcl. So
I'm wondering why our postgresql package should require tcl,
tcl::with_x11 = yes, X11 and not just tcl. AFAIK it only needs
plain Tcl under both build-time and run-time. That another (to be
made) pgaccess package then has to require both postgresql,
postgresql::with_tcl and tcl, tcl::with_x11, X11 is clear. But this
is a different thing IMHO.

 I also haven't seen anybody who installs Tcl but drops Tk.

Expect users do ;-) But the point I made above is just about minimum
required dependencies and not about usually existing relationships.
