There is a new Tcl/Tk in alpha that works on MacOSX's
windowing layer natively. This patch adds calls
necessary for Tkinter to work with it.

The Tcl/Tk alpha can be picked up here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894

NOTE: The amount of extra code needed to interface with
Tcl/Tk will probably go down with the next alpha of Tcl/Tk.

Why does this change PyOS_snprintf to sprintf?

I assume the sprintf change was a mistake (I've undone it
after I applied the patch).
Aside from that the patch looks harmless to other platforms,
but I haven't gotten it to work yet. It fails compilation
with a missing X11/Xlib.h include. If I can get it to
compile at least once I'll put it in CVS before 2.2 (even
though it is only useful to the real die-hards: it requires
a Tk alfa, and only works under the experimental
framework-based Python.app).

The mods to _tkinter.c and tkappinit.c are in the repository. What still needs to be done is a readme file explaining where to obtain the X11 headers, what to put into Setup.local and how to run your Tkinter scripts.

This patch was applied 3 months ago, and noone seems to be willing to write a readme. Still, people seem succesful in getting this to work, so let's forget about the readme and close the patch.
