The "package require XXX" command works just like it does
in Tcl, in that it looks at the directories in the "auto_path" global
variable and tries to load any packages found in those directories.
Each dir on the auto_path is checked to see if it has a pkgIndex.tcl
file or a subdir that contains a pkgIndex.tcl file. This pkgIndex.tcl
file is then source'd, which runs the package provide command
in the file.

You can set the auto_path however you like, you might also want
to try out the -DTCLLIBPATH=/somedir argument to the java
executable. That will add the /somedir argument to the auto_path
from the command line.
