* generic/tclInitScript.h:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: merged code with 8.0.5. We now use an intermediate global tcl var "tclDefaultLibrary" to keep the "tcl_library" var from being set by the default value in the Makefile. Also fixed a bug in which caused the value of TCL_LIBRARY env var to be ignored. * unix/tclWinInit.c: just updated some comments. FossilOrigin-Name: 0d9e2ba09f2c97ca092a6cc055bebc33e8dbced7

- * The following string is the startup script executed in new
- * interpreters. It looks on disk in several different directories
- * for a script "init.tcl" that is compatible with this version
- * of Tcl. The init.tcl script does all of the real work of
- * initialization.
+ * In order to find init.tcl during initialization, the following script
+ * is invoked by Tcl_Init(). It looks in several different directories:
+ *
+ * $tcl_library - can specify a primary location, if set
+ * no other locations will be checked
+ *
+ * $env(TCL_LIBRARY) - highest priority so user can always override
+ * the search path unless the application has
+ * specified an exact directory above
+ *
+ * $tclDefaultLibrary - this value is initialized by TclPlatformInit
+ * from a static C variable that was set at
+ * compile time
+ *
+ * $tcl_libPath - this value is initialized by a call to
+ * TclGetLibraryPath called from Tcl_Init.
+ *
+ * The first directory on this path that contains a valid init.tcl script
+ * will be set as the value of tcl_library.
+ *
+ * Note that this entire search mechanism can be bypassed by defining an
+ * alternate tclInit procedure before calling Tcl_Init().
