[R] Still have problems with tcltk in R 64 bit

[Arnaud Mosnier]

I achieve to make tcltk work on R 64 installing Active tcltk8.5 64bit
version then setting windows environment variables as in
http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/tcltk/InstallRTclTk.html.
But now, it uses only this 64 bit version and thus do not work anymore
in R 32 bit !

In my case, it solves my problem as I will probably use only R 64bit
but I do not like to end with an half solution.
