Several important third-party packages, including matplotlib in its
tkagg backend and Pillow, use tkinter as a way of locating libtcl and
libtk and making direct C API calls to those libraries. For more 
details, see the analysis in

#129 (comment)

To make these packages work, we need to expose the full libtcl and
libtk dynamic symbol ABI; we can't just statically link them into our
own binary. It seems most robust to also expose these as separate
libraries under their usual filenames to match the behavior of other
Python distributions.

Build shared libraries for the _tkinter module and for libtcl and libtk,
and set up rpaths so we find our copies of them. libX11 continues to be
statically linked, but it's linked into libtk. Just as with the build of
Python itself, use --exclude-libs=ALL to prevent the dependencies'
symbols from being exported.

Stop building Tix because it's broken (#723) and it would need to be
changed to dynamic linking.

Configure libX11 with --disable-loadable-xcursor to fix #146, which I
ran into while running tests.

Add zlib as a build-dep of Tcl/Tk so that they can statically link
libz.a. I think we were previously picking up the zlib headers from the
OS, which wasn't a problem when libtcl and libtk were static libraries -
they got linked into CPython itself which also linked zlib.a. But now
libtcl.so and libtk.so need zlib.a.
