Where do these names come from ?
These are not real packages.

Backport of tcl 8.5 dict facility for 8.4. Do not use in 8.5.

Backport of tcl 8.5 clock facility for 8.4. Do not use in 8.5.

Remove. Not real packages. ... I see that they are in the teapot. I have to
remove them there too.

(tbcload is copiled for both 8.4 and 8.5, the tbcload is a composite which
selects the proper binary automatically. The *84/85 packages are the parts
and should not be visible).

Expected, see above, the names are bogus.

Expected. Although it should work for 8.4.

>  TclOO: can't find package TclOO

don't know why.

>  Tix: Can't find a usable Init.tcl in the following directories:
>      /tmp/.lwv/ActiveTcl-8.5/lib/tcl8.5/Tix8.4.2

Tix is apparently not as TEA as I thought. It configures, compiles, links,
etc. and made no indication that anything was wrong during that. Likely a
bug in Tix itself. We use sources from the 'tix' SF project, not the
'tixlibrary' sf project.

Which pkgIndex.tcl files contained the bogus names pcx, pixmap, etc. ?
