Totally, fer sure.

Thanks.


Now how about this abuse of the ports system?
Build/test/etc separately with 8.6 for the 8.6 .so.

"configure" only thinks it finds a usable tclsh9,
so that has to be overridden.

Something like a build dep on a port's own flavor could work,
but locks seem to prevent that. I've been trying a bunch of things.
