Suggestion w/o a patch: I think that for 2.4, it'd be nice if distutils used the logging module extensively so that the 'silently' above can be changed easily. A good project for a snowy evening.

One of the things in the patch is the line:

! self.announce("INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers", 2)

so a notice will appear in the configure output, whereas previously it gave up silently.
