[MACTCL] Standalone TkAqua & Tiger TkAqua packages

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to reduce the size of my applications while still maintaining
convenience for end users. My plan is to start using my own build of the
TkAqua standalone bundle (Wish with the frameworks installed) and also
build/bundle only the extensions that aren't available on Tiger.

My question is this: if I call an extension that is pre-installed on
Tiger (i.e. Tk Image, TclApplescript, or tcllib) from a TkAqua
standalone that's built from CVS Head, will my build of Wish see it? Is
/System/Library/Tcl one of the default search paths for extensions on
Tiger? Or do packages need to be built against the same version of
Tcl/Tk (8.4.7 on Tiger if I recall correctly) to be visible?

My reason for asking is that this is a problem with Python--extensions
linked against Python 2.4.1 cannot be seen by Tiger's system
installation of Python (2.3.5). I hope the case is different with TkAqua.

Thanks for clarifying.
