It's worth noting a few updates since this recent set of updates about tkImg
and tkHTML3.  First off, some clarifications.  The tkImg package only bundles
those external dependencies for download convenience and can be disabled.  In
fact, our bundling of tkImg itself in BRL-CAD was a simple subset of just the
PNG Tcl bindings (without libpng, libz, or any other lib).  That said .. we're
already in the process of replacing tkImg with tkPNG since it's even more
simple and is closer to the minimal functionality that we need.  To top it off,
we found existing RPMs for tkImg around the same time.. :)

As for tkHTML3 and the assertion that things were being statically linked in,
that was a mistake.  The tkHTML3 sources don't even have any external
dependencies, much less linking in anything static.  There was some confusion
inferred from a misleading statement on the website about a related code.

So the basic summary, it's mostly all moot.  We'll have to get tkPNG packaged,
but that should be very easy.
