Yeah, it's the "-d", by which you ask it to create any directories in the
repository that are not present in your checkout.  Generally you don't
need -d unless somebody creates a new subdirectory, and that hasn't
happened in Xconq for some time.

Probably the tcl and tk dirs should be evaporated now?  They were
more useful a few years ago, when tcl/tk was still being worked on
for Windows etc, but I think the private copies have outlived their
usefulness.
