* changes: Update for 8.5.6 release.

        * library/tclIndex: Removed reference to no-longer-extant procedure
        'tclLdAout'.
        * doc/library.n: Corrected mention of 'auto_exec' to 'auto_execok'.
        [Patch 2114900] thanks to Stu Cassoff <stwo@users.sf.net>
        Backport of 2008-11-26 commit from Kevin Kenny.

        * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): We need to initialize the
        thread id variable to 0 as on 64 bit windows this is a pointer sized
        field while windows only fills it with a 32 bit value. The result is
        an inability to join the threads as the ids cannot be matched.
        Backport of 2008-10-13 commit from Pat Thoyts.
