The fn$ functionality that I mentioned does not use the tcltk package
so the version of tcltk should not matter.

The only part of the package that uses tcltk is strapply, which is not
used here, and even in that case there is R code to it as well if you
use strapply(..., engine = "R") or use ostrapply.

Also the older 0.3-9 version of the gsubfn package did not use tcltk at all.
