Thanks for the suse72 tests and the offer.  I'm hoping that by now  
genkit is good enough to work on older distro's, if you intend to  
build custom versions.  You'll need a tclsh for the first few steps,  
but that need only be an 8.3 version, I think.  If all else fails,  
manually build a tclsh first.

You need to run the following line before doing 8.5 builds:
	export KIT_VERSION=5
And you need to run this is a clean area, i.e. with no 8.4 build  
residues.

That'll make genkit use the proper sources and libs.
