Why do we use Tcl's compiler and flags?

The only really interesting things that tclConfig.sh (and tkConfig.sh)
tells us are the names of various libraries.  But those names can be used
portably with any compiler, so I don't see why we need to subscribe to the
whole deal.  AFAICT, the rest (TCL_CC, TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX, etc.) is merely a
help for people who don't know how to build shared libraries, but we do,
so we should use our own way.

Naah, don't tell me it breaks on HP-UX.  Make it work... ;-)
