...although perhaps not for this particular reason, but because
the demo is misleading people to believe that it is a useful method
for finding files. tkgetOpenFile/tkgetSaveFile are much better for
that, tkfilefind is really just a demo of interfacing to nontrivial
Tcl code. So if it doesn't even work, it is a definite candidate for
removal.
