Ideally tclAPI.c needs both "5.1.0" and "5.1".  But plConfig.h only
provides "5.1.0" (in PLPLOT_VERSION).  I don't know how to write a macro
to extract the first bit of that string, and I certainly don't know
anything about auto_conf.  Perhaps best is to change tclAPI.c so that we
use "5.1.0" everywhere.

I can easily do that, but extracting "5.1" if it is possible, would be
nicer...
