 on FreeBSD: need gmake, and to touch  eltclsh.1.cat in the unpacked eltclsh-1.9 directory; before running ./configure --with-tk=no;gmake install clean

----
Build for a Tcl/Tk8.5 system:
   * eltclsh has proved to operate correctly.
   * elwish did not show up the initial Tk window (eltclsh with package require Tk does).

Upon a sample build session of eltcsh with editline a link error (missing lXss) has been encountered (on a debian-based machine). This could be resolved by installing libxss-dev.
