Hi, thanks for reviewing this patch!

I was not aware of this issue, sorry! This version of the library, at 
runtime, tries to guess the path of a valid wish executable and, then, 
starts a process executing said executable, communicating with the 
parent process via a pipe. The `fix-path' is no more applicable as it 
assumes that the path to wish is hardcoded in the source code, which is 
not true, starting from this version of the library. Moreover leaving 
the `tk' dependency to `inputs' makes the library unable to guess a path 
for wish,  leading to a crash at runtime. My changes seems to make the 
library works as intended but I am very open to suggestions if a better 
solution exists.

Bye!
C.
