[Paraview] Building Tcl/Tk via paraview (was ParaView on the Mac)

[Lee A Ankeny]

Andy,
Your comments about how Tcl/Tk is built reminds me of a problem I have. Can Paraview's cmake files control the build properties of the embedded Tcl/Tk? Or will I have to hack configure_tcltk.sh.in in the source tree?

In my case, I've got a x86_64 platform on which a gcc bug prevents me from building an optimized 64-bit executable. Until I get it solved I'd like to build with -m32, but CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS doesn't propagate to the Tcl build.

Thanks,
Lee
