This does not work in the CVS version.  I built the CVS version clean (none of
my patches):

There is no env(TCLLIBPATH) defined.  Java doesn't even pass most environment
variables (that's an entirely different NIH problem):

[tpoindex@ct tcljava.clean]$ TCLLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib jaclsh
% puts $env(TCLLIBPATH)
can't read "env(TCLLIBPATH)": no such element in array
%
