I did a ln -s /Applications/Wish\ Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish\
Shell /usr/local/bin/wish, and I linked tclConfig.sh to tkConfig.sh.
That got it past the configure step. If you really need wish then
this probably wouldn't work. I know there is an easy way to start a
GUI app from the command line and someone needs to create a shell
wrapper for the purpose.

It still failed to compile due to needing some X11 header file even
though this is specifically not an X11 tk port. This is a tk issue
not a Postgres issue.

After loading the openssl .h files I was able to get it to configure
as follows:
--with-includes=<tcl header dirs>
--with-tcl --without-tk --with-tclconfig=<tcl public header dir>
--with-perl
--with-krb4=/usr/local (I have kth-krb installed for AFS support,
krb5 native doesn't work)
--with-CXX
--enable-syslog

It passes all the regression tests.

Note that I can't actually try out the kerberos support without
paying $30/month for a postgres account including AFS space and the
whole ball of wax. I just wanted to see if it would compile since
the krb5 native option didn't work. I'm still not sure if this is a
MacOSX linker issue or some funny in the way Postgres looks at
kerberos.
