This reference was hosted at a university called New Mexico Tech.  I've been 
trying to determine if this server is just offline or if it's being sunsetted.  
Many google search results still point to infohost.mnt.edu or redirect to that 
page (not just the tkinter link).  Also, their main webpage (www.nmt.edu) also 
has a search that redirects results to infohost, so those links are all broken 
as well.

It seems to me that they just haven't stood up the new site yet or else they 
haven't changed their redirect, so I would assume that once they find they have 
broken links, they will fix this.  However, I also found an article that the 
creator of the tkinter docs has passed away [1].  If the infohost subdomain was 
his, then they might be moving all of it.

Anyway, I think we should leave the docs as they are for now with the hope they 
the university will fix the redirect.  If it doesn't get resolved, then we 
probably need to reach out to them.  Since the author is deceased, I'm not sure 
how it would work to try to host it somewhere else.  It would be a shame to 
lose this valuable reference and work.
