I'm trying to compile 8.5.4 at the moment and I have to marvel at how more byzantine the builds become every new release. I don't use the distribution builds because in my opinion they do various things wrong (like not using SharedFrameworks in Wish.app). I'm used to having do things all over, but do you have to make it so hard?

If you believe the core (Mac OS X) build system is wrong, then have you considered submitting your changes back to the Tcl patch tracker? That way, if accepted, you wouldn't have so much of a burden adapting to each new release.
