This causes warnings (PACKAGE_NAME redefined, etc) when building other
packages.
Which packages are you referring to?
I found this while building (msys) versions of tcl and tk, (loosely)
based on your cygports. However...I modified tk's configure.in to do a
"proper" AC_INIT. So now, tk defines PACKAGE_NAME as "tk" -- but
inherits tclConfig's setting of "tcl" (and etc.).
It's possible that because tk doesn't, OOB, use the proper AC_INIT
invocation that you don't see this problem with your builds. But...is
it really right for tk to self-identify as "tcl"?
Fix that...and then you see the warning.
However, it just seems unambiguously correct, to me, that derived
packages should NOT inherit "tcl's" settings of those particular macros.
