In readme.txt, make what's needed to build the "optional" subprojects
much more explicit. Also document that we're moving to Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.
Simplify .dsp files by getting rid of useless include paths.
.wse file changed to reflect that my setup is different than Guido's:
if you *build* a Python distro using python20.wse, beware!
