[PD] tk version weirdness with 0.43test2

FYI: you don't need Tcl/Tk -dev packages anymore, the GUI is now pure  
Tcl and no longer has a C component.

What seems odd to me is that LIBS is including -ltk8.5 and -ltcl8.5.  
It shouldn't at all.  IOhannes, did they somehow creep back into the  
autotools build system with your recent updates?
