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?
