   Actually, I've looked at the configure for TCL and concluded came to the 
   following conclusions:
   
   1.  By default, the *Config.sh files go in the same directory as the library
       files (default: /usr/local/lib).
   
   2.  If you built more than 1 version of TCL/TK, the *Config.sh will reflect
       the last version built unless you override the default location of the
       libraries.
   
   3.  If you more than one version of TCL/TK and want to use a specific version,
       you need to tell configure where the *Config.sh file you want to use are
       with the --with-libs or --with-library option.
   
   Bearing these points in mind, I will be removing the code that looks in tclX.Y 
   (where X.Y is the version) and tkX.Y directories.  It will only look for 
   *Config.sh files in the following directories (in the order given):
   
   	$LIBRARY_DIRS		(set with --with-libs or --with-libraries)
   	/usr/local/lib
   	/usr/contrib/lib
   	/opt/lib
   	/usr/lib
   
   This method will make searching for various versions TCL/TK unnecessary while 
   still being able to find the correct TCL/TK in most cases.

   FYI, I may have already done that in configure.in.
