So fix it. :-) Fedora moves fast, so maintainers sometimes have to patch
upstream packages for new libraries they're not ready for. Also note that the
Tcl 8.5 alphas have been out for more than a year.

Anti-aliasing support! Yes, Tcl finally supports Xft instead of using the
obsolete, non-anti-aliased core fonts system. (It took them way too long.)
Frankly, Tcl/Tk is one of the slowest-moving libraries in the world, this
transition is one that will happen once in a few YEARS, and I don't think there
will be a lot to change (though I might be wrong). You can be glad your
packages don't depend on something like libtunepimp which changes its API
radically every few months.
