Re: Some issues

Another build issue:

If I configure insight with LDFLAGS, like so:

	CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 ../insight-6.6/configure ...

to build a 32-bit app on my 64-bit system, the LDFLAGS don't get passed
down to the tk directory properly and linking wish fails:

make[3]: Entering directory `/user/psmith/src/obj/insight/tk/unix'

The incompatible libraries are because all the rest of the build
(including the compiler for tk... the CFLAGS value IS properly passed
down to the tk directory) has the -m32 option so these libraries are all
32-bit.
