[Buildroot] [PATCH] wvstreams: remove tcl dependency support

Simon,

I mistakingly left you off the original e-mail.  Any chance you could
review the sanity of this patch?  As best as I can tell, the TCL support
is some holdover from an earlier version of wvstreams (I can't find any
references to the HAVE_TCL_H and friends in the source code) and never
linked properly anyway as wvstreams only looks for tcl 8.3.  I only came
across it as I am trying to bump tcl and started looking at packages
with tcl dependencies and found this one.

I actually have a similar patch that fixes it to find/link against tcl
8.4 or tcl 8.6 but that's when I started digging around to see what it
actually changed in the source code and never could find anything and
went with this patch instead.

Thanks,
Andy


----------

As far as I can tell enabling tcl support has no affect on the actual
library.  Furthermore, wvstreams has been checking for/linking against
tcl 8.3 which has never been supported in buildroot as far as I can tell
(8.4 added in 2005).  That being said there is clearly no reason to keep
this around.

 On a side-note, I am testing a few bigger patches to get expect 5.45
 and tcl 8.6.1 added/bumped.  I haven't done a decent amount of testing,
 but figured I'd get some of the smaller patches out of the way as I go.
