Bugzilla Bug 184213

graphviz-2.12 (and 2.8-r2) fails to emerge, complaining that it needs
ltclstub8.4 .  tcl-8.4.14 does not provide libtclstub8.4.a .  It provides
libtclstub8.4g.a

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge dev-lang/tcl
2.emerge graphviz
Actual Results:  
did not compile

Expected Results:  
should have compiled

Here is the output:

Someone suggested (in bug 178853) that you could change
/usr/lib/libtclstub.a -> /usr/lib/libtclstub8.4.a to
/usr/lib/libtclstub.a -> /usr/lib/libtclstub8.4g.a .  That sounds like folly,
but I tried it.  To no avail.

Sigh.  Why didn't this turn up when I searched?  Now I feel like an idiot.
