Setting PL_LIBRARY is the best solution but I think "." should be

Unfortunately, the nice function we're using (tcl_findLibrary) is a
standard Tcl library function which doesn't search '.'.  All I can think
of that we add a check just before that initScript to check if PL_LIBRARY
is set, and if not, then to set it to '.'.  Either that, or running
'pltcl' from the build directory should simply require you to set
PL_LIBRARY to . first.  (You can even add make targets to do that).

What is 'pltcl' supposed to do, from the build directory, if 'PL_LIBRARY'
is set?  Presumably it should use that and ignore what is in '.' anyway.

I'm in the middle of committing the other parts of the first set of
changes, in small pieces.
