After a bit of a break, I've come back to this.  I take back what I said in the
previous comment.  Tcl currently does _not_ have multilib issues, because
arch-dependent extensions are installed outside of Tcl's install directory, and
into /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 as appropriate.  Bug #227200 is a metakit packaging
bug, not a Tcl bug.

Once the Tcl packaging guidelines are accepted (Tcl 8.5 timeframe?) then
extensions will be installed in Tcl's /usr/%{_lib}/tcl8.x directory, but this
will be an arch-specific directory and there still shouldn't be any multilib issues.

I'm calling this merge review done and hope that we can address some of the
package loading optimizations for Fedora 8, even if it's before Tcl 8.5 is released.
