For Python on HP-UX I build Tcl/Tk with --enable-shared. I don't *think*
I had to do much else special -- other than tweaking Python's setup.py
detect_tkinter() code to find where I had built and "installed" my
Tcl/Tk libs.

p.s. Note that we now have free ActivePython binary installers for
HP-UX at ActiveState.
