I'll vote for losing the hacked tcl_findLibrary, and using some heuristic
for determining if we are running in the build dir. Anything to prevent us
from modifying Tcl/Tk/tix/itcl/etc.

main.tcl does a "package require gdbtk 1.0" and gdbtk.c defines the
package "gdbtk". I would change these all to "insight". I might even
consider bumping the version to differentiate this Tcl8.3-compatible
version from the older one. (Especially since we are going to be ripping
gdb and insight apart...)

Thank you for all your work in this area. I'm sure that there are many
people anxious to see the outcome of all your diligence!
