Ah, 2.7. I was using a checkout of tix-8.4.3.x from Nov 13, 2010, one
where python.mak was pointing to Tcl 8.5.2. It may not have been tagged.

In 2.7, it wasn't checked out out automatically because Tix requires the
original Tcl/Tk path names, so building it automatically would have failed.

Martin
