whatever other installations already exist.

I had somehow missed the part of the release announcement about moving
away from the old default. This question is no longer relevant. Thanks!

$ teacup link info /vol/tclsrcsol/ActiveTcl-8.5.1/lib/teapot
Shell /vol/tclsrcsol/ActiveTcl-8.5.1/bin/tclsh8.5
Shell /projects/sprs_lwv/tcl85/bin/tclsh8.5

 $ /vol/tclsrcsol/ActiveTcl-8.5.1/bin/tclsh8.5
% package require platform
1.0.3
% platform::identify
solaris2.9-sparc

However, solaris2.9-sparc isn't one of the options in teapot at this
time...

The whole reason I was adding the --arch was so that I didn't replicate
the problem I had previously, where my attempt at installing some code
via teacup caused both solaris2.6-sparc and solaris2.8-sparc versions to
be installed. So being the "clever" person, I thought "oh, I'll just
specify the specific platform I want and that will take care of my
concerns.


Apparently, tcl is more clever than I am...
