You may want to hold off on that for a few days while I work out the strange
bug that's preventing tcl8.3 from building only on m68k. That bug is the
principal reason that tcl8.3 and tk8.3 aren't yet in testing, but Roman has
promised an account on kullervo to try to figure it out.

Yes, you'd need separate source packages I think...
