I'd like to update Tcl/Tk to 8.6.16, which will be released in about week or so.
Builds and tests with release candidates are fine and all ports are ready to 
go.    

There are a few potential incompatibilities. They don't look worrisome but
problems with software that uses Tcl/Tk might not surface right away.
               
So I'm wondering if I could just do the update when 8.6.16 comes out       
and we'll see about any fallout?
I can put the list of potential incompatibilities in the commit message.

These are the relevant potential incompatibilities from the previous    
two releases. 8.6.16 is a bugfix release, without potential incompatibilities.

8.6.14
* [TIP 402] revise path normalization for x-platform UNC path support
* Harmonize Tk's parse of numbers (screen distance, etc) with Tcl
* Iconlist ignores options db for fg text color; affects dialogs
* [encoding convertfrom] handling of incomplete code sequences
* Harmonize handling of ~ in paths across platforms.
* Fix menu clone binding misbehavior, menu-20.1[2-6].

8.6.15
* Invoke binding scripts for events with detail field NotifyInferior
* Tcl_NewObjectInstance() errors on namespace re-use. Breaks Itcl 4.2
* TCL_PACKAGE_PATH change from Tcl list to platform path convention
