...yeh, that's REEEEAAAALLY irritating, but I haven't looked into it  
beyond what it does...hard to say if it's what miller did or some  
change in tcl/tk 8.4.10, but it definitely needs to be fixed...plus,  
I think "browser" under "html" is a little vague, and should be named  
something like "patches" or "patch browser"...

...weird, because it definitely works here:  maybe this is something  
lost by not using 10.4.x?

...sure, this'll happen after I get my deadline passed :-\  Mostly,  
the trick was just to make a directory full of symbolic links to the  
static libs installed to by fink, then go thru and add that to the  
pdp and pidip makefile's...
