#8 latest cvs head configuration fails
When I use the latest cvs head memchan's configure, I
notice these problems.
Platform: sparc solaris, sun c compiler
Tcl : tcl 8.4.6 - configured with --enable-symbols
1. When I configure memchan --enable-symbols, it
doesn't find the tcl lib.a because it forgets to look
to see if there is a libtcl*g.a or *g.so* version
available.
2. Also, I notice in the configure script itself that
the places it looks does not include the latest
versions of tcl.
3. After I hack the configure script so that it finds
libtcl*g.so , I discover that the Makefile generated
does not set TCL_DBGX = g , which is needed so that the
link step is able to find libtcl*g.so .

The latest cvs snapshot continues to have these
problems - note also that when looking at the old
tcl versions (8.3 and older only), memchan does not
look for pieces in the same sequence. When looking for
the generic directory, memchan's configure looks for tcl 8.2, then
8.3, then 8.2b and before. However, when looking
for the unix directory, it looks for 8.3, then 8.2, then 8.2b, ...
and finally, when looking for the libtcl, it looks at 8.3, then 8.2, ...

here's a patch to try to fix the code which doesn't find the
right tcl stuff.

Note also that make test fails for the latest memchan cvs.
I get this error:
$ gmake test
mv ./../win/pkgIndex.tcl ./../win/pkgIndex.tclX

Uh. 6 years old. Larry, is this still true ?
It looks to me like the 2009 version that is currently on the ftp site configures and builds ok with tcl 8.6
