.. and who does constantly change the configure.in for the debian release,
because he is just to lazy to send the patches ... :)

Here is the important excerpt how the  tcl header checking should look
like. (the loop is unrolled by hand to make pd compilation even faster :)

AC_CHECK_HEADER(tcl.h,,
    AC_CHECK_HEADER(tcl8.1/tcl.h,CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I /usr/include/tcl8.1", 
    AC_CHECK_HEADER(tcl8.2/tcl.h,CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I /usr/include/tcl8.2",
    AC_CHECK_HEADER(tcl8.3/tcl.h,CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I /usr/include/tcl8.3",
    AC_CHECK_HEADER(tcl8.4/tcl.h,CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I /usr/include/tcl8.4", 
    AC_CHECK_HEADER(tcl8.5/tcl.h,CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I /usr/include/tcl8.5", 
    echo "no tcl/tk header found";exit))))))

The same or similar scheme should be applied for tcl and tk library
checking ..
... and I don't think it is the best way to do it. But it should work.
