After a bit more investigation, this has turned out to be a smelly kettle of fish. Upstream have unbundled labltk (Tk, *not* Gtk, user interface) and camlp4, so those will now need to be packaged as separate SRPMs. I might not bother with labltk. I think I'll wait until after the F21/F22 branch to do all this.
