in particular and the tcl rootfile in general, I would like to bring your question up again.

This is especially because the current tcl rootfile ships file I definitely expect in the
sqlite territory, not here:

> #usr/lib/sqlite3.36.0
> usr/lib/sqlite3.36.0/libsqlite3.36.0.so
> usr/lib/sqlite3.36.0/pkgIndex.tcl

To my understanding, this makes it hard to understand if the sqlite version carried out
via tcl takes precedence, or if the _actual_ sqlite version is effective.

Unless anybody has an idea why we actually need to ship tcl, I would like to try out what
happens if we don't. :-)

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
