Applied, and Makefile.in added.

> Configure is also cleaned up a bit at the end so the long list of
> output files is easier to deal with.

> NOTE: run autoconf.

> 2. A new script mkMakefile.tcldefs.sh is created from the template
> mkMakefile.tcldefs.sh.in so that the substitution for tclConfig.sh
> can be inserted. The script is simplified and renamed to reflect
> the fact that it is a sh script.
>
> NOTE: pl/tcl/mkMakefile.tcldefs should be removed from the tree.

> 3. The Makefile executes /bin/sh on the new script rather than
> directly executing the script (hence the name change to make it
> more explicit).
>
> 4. There are shared library problems with the plpgsql/src/Makefile.
> The port-specific code was taken from the interfaces/tcl?/Makefile
> so that shared libraries should work on all platforms. This means
> that that Makefile must be a template for configure.
