Well, in tcl/generic/tclInterp.c, I see this comment:

/*
     * In order to find init.tcl during initialization, the following script
     * is invoked by Tcl_Init().  It looks in several different directories:
     *
     *  $tcl_library            - can specify a primary location, if set, no
     *                            other locations will be checked.  This is
     *                            the recommended way for a program that
     *                            embeds Tcl to specifically tell Tcl where to
     *                            find an init.tcl file.
     *
     *  $env(TCL_LIBRARY)       - highest priority so user can always override
     *                            the search path unless the application has
     *                            specified an exact directory above
     *
     *  $tclDefaultLibrary      - INTERNAL:  This variable is set by Tcl
     *                            on those platforms where it can determine at
     *                            runtime the directory where it expects the
     *                            init.tcl file to be.  After [tclInit] reads
     *                            and uses this value, it [unset]s it.
     *                            External users of Tcl should not make use of
     *                            the variable to customize [tclInit].
     *
     *  $tcl_libPath            - OBSOLETE:  This variable is no longer
     *                            set by Tcl itself, but [tclInit] examines it
     *                            in case some program that embeds Tcl is
     *                            customizing [tclInit] by setting this
     *                            variable to a list of directories in which
     *                            to search.
     *
     *  [tcl::pkgconfig get scriptdir,runtime]
     *                          - the directory determined by configure to be
     *                            the place where Tcl's script library is to
     *                            be installed.
     *
     * The first directory on this path that contains a valid init.tcl script
     * will be set as the value of tcl_library.
     *
     * Note that this entire search mechanism can be bypassed by defining an
     * alternate tclInit procedure before calling Tcl_Init().
     */


Does that help?
