All the Tcl 8.4 related extensions, etc. that I install go into /usr/tcl84.
All my extensions are configured with a --prefix=/usr/tcl84 .
I built tcldom with that, did a make and then a make install.  Then I
went to the src-xml2 directory attempted a configure, and found that
it generated a series of error msgs because I had not supplied various
--with flags, etc.  It seems to me that the configures should look
first in the $exec_prefix, and then, if $prefix is different, in that
directory, for the things it is seeking before erroring.
