Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.
Includes documentation change and tests.
Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

work with Mac OS X Aqua-Tk, all nicely within ifdefs.
The process is not for the faint of heart, though: you need to download
and install the (alfa) Aqua-Tk, obtain a few needed X11 headers from
somewhere else and then everything builds. To run scripts using Tkinter
you must build with --enable-framework, build Python.app in Mac/OSX
and run your Tkinter scripts with that. Then, about half the tests in
Demo/tkinter work (or at least do something).
Checking this in anyway because it shouldn't break anything, and newer
versions of Aqua-Tk will streamline the process.
simply moves the call to Tk_MainWindow() after the Tcl/Tk
initialization calls. The patch is unconditional, it works with
earlier and later versions as well.
