I'm sorry.  I wasn't really asking for an explanation.  I know what
tclConfig.sh is supposed to be used for.

Did you actually look at tclConfig.sh?

  # String to pass to linker to pick up the Tcl library from its
  # build directory.
  TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC='-L/netrel/build/libtcltk/tcl/win -ltcl84'

Unless you have my build structure on your system it doesn't make
much sense to use this variable.

The TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC (and maybe TCL_LIB_SPEC) is obviously wrong however.
