I had a go by making a link from /Applications/Wish
Shell.app/Contents/Macos/Wish Shell to a more sane /usr/local/wish and gs
did pick up the wish executable and open up the little window you get when
running Wish Shell.app normally. gs couldn't communicate with the wish shell
though - I read something somewhere about problems with stdin/out.
fink also seem to be doing something with tcl/tk though I can't quite figure
out whether this is Aqua or X11. They seem to be still "perfecting" their
Jag suport so I haven't played with it much.
