_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load library "C:/.../TkGL1.1/Tkgl11.dll": ... could not be found in library path #1

Good day @3-manifolds, Really like the library which permits me to add opengl rendering to my tkinter applications in a familiar way, I tryed to run tests in test/ but I got that error. Browsing the C:/tkinter_gl/src/tkinter_gl/tk/win32/TkGL1.1 actually approves what the error message says, Tkgl11.dll seems to not exist. renaming to Tkgl11t.dll actually worked for me, please could you rename the included dll in the tcl file to improve windows users experience.

Also, got another issue: When installing from pypi, the win32 directory is not included but instead pip downloads the darwin/ . I needed to install from source in editable mode.

Thanks!

Thank you very much @ken-morel. (And sorry for being late to respond.). I need to figure out how the pkgIndex.tcl file ended up being wrong. But I expect to merge your PR shortly.

Please, in the pull request I just changed the included dll name in the include statement(I do not know manything in tcl), from Tkgl11.dll to Tkgl11t.dll., but the dll name was surely that for a good reason. The modification works for me but please still check if it is not better to just rename the dll file instead of merging #2.
