* generic/tcl.h: Explicitly standardized on the use of stdarg.h

        * generic/tclBasic.c:   conventions for functions with variable number
        * generic/tclInt.h:     of arguments.  Support for varargs.h has been
        * generic/tclPanic.c:   implicitly gone for some time now.  All
        * generic/tclResult.c:  TCL_VARARGS* macros purged from Tcl sources,
        * generic/tclStringObj.c:       leaving only some deprecated #define's
        * tools/genStubs.tcl:   in tcl.h for the sake of older extensions.

        * generic/tclDecls.h:   make genstubs

        * doc/AddErrInfo.3:     Replaced all documented requirement for use
        * doc/Eval.3:           of TCL_VARARGS_START() with requirement for

+ *
+ * New code should just directly be written to use stdarg.h conventions.
