If tcltk's build scripts and/or makefiles are written properly, it
will always see the build-directories before installed things, and
BuildConflicts on alternate versions should not be necessary. Just
make sure all global -I and -L flags come *after* any local ones, and
that local libs are linked directly by filename if possible instead of
using -l to find them. If this is *not* the case, then file an
upstream bug report, as the scope of the problem is much larger than
fink.
