To follow up on this, the code for handling the starpack as
dll has nothing to do with the recent HP-UX support commits
(those are purely for HP-UX).  The code has been in the CVS
for a while now.  If you compile with -DUSE_TCL_STUBS (which
should probably be the default), then when it loads the Tcl
library, we make 2 extra sym checks for TclKit_AppInit, which
would replace Tcl_Init on the interp, and TclKit_SetKitPath.
These are used to indicate the shared library is the starkit
source, and all is contained within it.
