They normally aren't - tcl and tk don't install them and the current version
doesn't have those links. Whenever I've installed Tcl/Tk I haven't
put them in.

My only concern is that of removing the old version. I know I have
dependencies on it. OK, it wouldn't be much work to change things,
the problem is that the scripts are nfs mounted and shared with
Solaris 10 machines which have the old version. Do we have
a one release overlap policy?

(I do realise that changing to having the generic symlinks would be
a partial solution to that problem next time around.)
