Fair enough ;-)

Output is :
/usr/share/tcl8.4

Both /usr/bin/tclsh and /usr/include/tcl.h exist.

I have also noticed that 'make install' ignores prefix and requires 
DESTDIR to be set for the Python files that live in site-packages, ie
I need to call "make prefix=/blah DESTDIR=/blah" for xapian.py* and 
_xapian.so to be installed relatively to "/blah" instead of "/".
A side-effect is that the Python docs are then installed in
"/blah/blah"...

I can barely keep my eyes open now so I think I'll try again tomorrow
morning with CVS HEAD :-)

Cheers.
