Make it easier for users to make use of the backup _tkinter linked
with the third-party Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks.
The two tkinter variants are now installed in separate directories
under a new lib-tkinter.  This allows per-user selection by

when building _tkinter.  configure has two new options; if used, both must
be specified:

  ./configure \

      --with-tcltk-libs="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.5 -ltk8.5"

In addition, the options can be overridden with make:

   make \
       TCLTK_INCLUDES="-I/opt/local/include" \
       TCLTK_LIBS="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6"
