I know I had to add that flag or my configure failed - for some reason,
TEA and TEA 2 based extensions do not, by default look for what they
need in $prefix and $exec_prefix - in my opinion, they should look there
before reporting that a flag is needed.

I installed it first myself - but as I mention above, the configure
doesn't appear to look in the directory where things are installed...

Hopefully I haven't trimmed too much off

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.

Note:
	Of the three spellings in my answer (Tcldom, TclDom, tcldom)
	only the first is correct, and the others should have been like
	the first.

I note:
	--with-Tcldom=/usr/tcl84/lib

Is that the same directory we would get through --prefix/lib
and/or --exec-prefix/lib ?
Also, was the Tcldom base package installed before configuring the sub
package in src-libxml2 ?

--with-xml2-* I believe ?

The --with-xml2-* code looks in

	Headers			Shared libs
	-------------------------------------------
	--with-xml2-include	--with-xml2-lib
	prefix/include		exec_prefix/lib
	/usr/include		/usr/lib
	/usr/local/include	/usr/local/lib
	-------------------------------------------

I do not believe that the system should search shared libs in prefix/lib.
We are talking about platform dependent files here, and prefix is platform
independent.

Doesn't standard code in configure set exec_prefix to prefix if only prefix
is specified ?
