 this is not hard. i will send you a version with that option with
 separate mail.

there is no need for wish

 this is not unusual. the name of the tclsh is deterimined by
 configure throught the configure macro SC_PROG_TCLSH.
 on my system, the tclsh is determined as

    TCLSH_PROG = /usr/bin/tclsh8.4

 One can use an arbitraty shell my invoking

  make "TCLSH_PROG=XXXXXXXXXXXXX" ...
