A stubs-enabled build will work for 8.3+ if compiled against 8.3. It also happens that you can use tcl84.dll in place of tcl83.dll by renaming it to match, but the reverse is not true. This is just because Tcl didn't change much internals to break this. However, Tk did have a few changes that might cause surprises - but again a stubs build would work fine.
