I renamed /usr/local/lib/itkConfig.sh and
/usr/local/lib/itclConfig.sh, and everything installed fine.

When the itk/itcl configure scripts are run, they aren't being
passed the --with-tcl flag to tell them where to look for
configuration info, so they look for *Config.sh in standard
places -- including /usr/local/lib.  They find those files from
a previous install and use them.
