"make all" fails with "NO_TCLTK=y" because gitk-wish depends on GIT- GUI-VARS which is defined inside the ifndef block.

AFAICT, either gitk-wish should be moved inside a ifndef block or an else should be added with a phony GIT-GUI-VARS. I don't know which is preferred.

Actually, I can't tell why make is trying to build it in the first place. :-/ gitk-wish is added to OTHER_PROGRAMS inside a NO_TCLTK block. (Debian oldstable, GNU Make 3.80, git repo v1.5.2-rc3)

And, while I'm poking through here, there's a line labeled "Backward compatibility -- to be removed after 1.0". Git IDs itself as 1.5.2.rc3. Isn't that after 1.0? :-)
