I am having trouble following (because I don't know the tcl build
system).  Are you essentially proposing to revert a specific change that
is causing problems?  What is the big picture of versioned vs
unversioned files in tcl?  The PLIST change seems odd as the various
files coming and going don't seem related.  (But that's not an issue if
this is backing out a previous odd change.)
