The tclConfig.sh file is found by looking into the path returned by `echo
'puts $auto_path' | tclsh`.

Then theoretically, the tkConfig.sh file should be found by looking into
the path returned by `echo 'puts $auto_path' | wish`, which would indeed
give the right answer, but when I execute that, wish also opens a window
on my desktop and hangs, which is not exactly what you'd want during a
configure run.

If you have a plan to work around that and the case where X is not running
during configuration, then I'm all ears.
