Once the bot is green please make sure to only submit the change to configure.ac -- all the others should really not even be in the repository I think |

Configure is still failing to find libtcl under Debian on an ARM (Raspberry PI) system. I am going to close this pull request and find a more robust OS/architecture agnostic way of detecting the library. |

When running configure on Debian or a derived operating system, such as Ubuntu with the --enable-tcl option, it will fail with libtcl not found--even when libtcl is installed on the system. This is because Debian keeps the library in a non-standard location as part of their 'multiarch implementation.' This small change to configure.ac will fix this, it also adds support for libtcl 8.6. All tests pass OK when the library is linked against libtcl 8.6.
