Description
When running tkcon.tcl with TclTk-9.0 (released at the end of last 2024), i get an error:
wish9.0 tkcon.tcl
Error in startup script: version conflict for package "Tk": have 9.0.0, need 8.4
while executing
"package require Tk 8.4"
invoked from within
"if {$tcl_version < 8.4} {
return -code error "tkcon requires at least Tcl/Tk 8.4"
} else {
package require Tk 8.4
}"
(file "tkcon.tcl" line 57)
with Tcl>=8.5, one could use min-unbound versions (e.g. package require Tk 8.4-) but since this project obviously aims at compat with TclTk-8.4 this is not a good solution.
however, i think that there's no need to both check the $tcl_version and require versioned Tk package: afaik, you cannot really load a non-matching Tk-version into a given Tcl-interpreter (that is: if we know that the Tcl-interpreter is 8.27, then the only loadable Tk is also 8.27.
so I think that this would be sufficient:

Subject: [PATCH] Drop versioned dependency on Tk>=8.4
So tkcon is usable with TclTk-9
