[PD] nightly builds on intel mac

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Ok, my guess is that it's a bug in the Apple-included Tcl/Tk.   
Everything works fine on PowerPc.  So I am trying ActiveTcl 8.4.14,  
which is a universal binary.

Give the 2006-12-12 build a shot and see what happens.  (hopefully it  
builds sucessfully tonight).
