Comments:
This is a follow-up to a previos bug report "tclstub81.lib locks me into
release build only"

DesiredBehavior:
on line 1525 please change:

extern TclStubs *tclStubsPtr;

to be:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
extern TclStubs *tclStubsPtr;
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

This solves the unresolved external when using a C++ compiler due to
name decoration where we don't want it.

This patch is definitely needed.
