[Rd] building with tcltk on Ubuntu 14.04

  False alarm.  Completely wiping out my build directory followed by

../R-devel/configure --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh
- --with-tk-config=/usr/lib/tkConfig.sh; make

  seems to work.  (My fault for assuming repeated cycles of
./configure; make would actually do the right thing ...)

  There seems to be a corollary of Clarke's Law ("any sufficient
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic") that says that
any sufficiently complex software system may *not* be magic, but it's
just easier to treat it as though it is ...

  Thanks for the offer of help ...

  Ben
