It should go through the procedure returned by [package unknown], so
instrumnting that is a possibility.
The other is to go to the pkgIndex.tcl of XOTcl and instrument that. I.e.
see if the pkgIndex.tcl is read at all, if the ifneeded script is executed,
and what parts of it. Guesstimate would be yes, and that it hangs in the
'load' of the shared library. At that point we are however out of luck, as
we cannot look deeper ... Actually we may can. Use 'strace' or equivalent to
see what system calls are made ... That can give us clues as well.
