>From a quick grep of tcllib/modules/*/*.tcl, I see approx. 128 unique
package requires in tcllib. Many are for other tcllib modules, with some
exceptions that I notice being Thread, Tk, Trf, Trfcrypt, some critcl
stuff, tls, ceptcl. The Tk references are in snit's main1, 1_83, and
2.tcl files. The Trf/Trfcrypt references have, at least in the past,
been conditional requires that use Tcl code if the Trf code isn't
present, which I seem to recall is the case for the critcl stuff as
well. The ceptcl code is in dns and ntp/time and is conditionally
included.

The tls references are in ldap, mime/smtp (conditionally included),
sasl/gtoken, and smtpd (conditionally included).

I'm not certain about the rest.
