OK, let's opt for buggy.

I was aware of the external option, but the actual BR package script for 
jimtcl suffers exactly of the same problem. No patches applied there and 
no autotools-package called. A custom configure command and 
generic-package management. But no way to build a static library if 
--enable-shared is globally adopted.

Anyway, I collected enough information to start working on release 2. 
Just need some spare hours, now.

Thanks a lot
