Before I go updating tcl/tk, any thoughts on bumping our support to
the latest revision, 8.5.11?

I guess the same question applies to all the externals, actually
(zlib, openssl, sqlite, bsddb, etc).  In the past we've typically
bumped up our support to the latest version prior to beta, then
stuck with that for the release's life, right?

Semi-related note: is svn.python.org/externals still the primary
repo for externals?  (I can't see a similarly named hg repo.)
