This is one of those cases where you sit back and think "Now why didn't I think of that!"

The only thing I would add is to allow $LIBRARY_DIR to be searched first to allow an alternate version of TCL/TK to be specified. Also, I would add a check to see if tclsh is in the path.

Can anyone think of a good reason not to use this method?
