It does not solve the main problems solved by check_library_path:
to include the env(XOTcl) variable and use the local directory
when you are in it so that you don't necessarily have to install. The
rest of the code (in the second else part) is only used to set the
xotcl::lib variable correctly. Again: this variable is not really needed.
At the moment, it is only an information for the programmer.

we can think about getting rid of the variable, maybe.
