[Xotcl] Bug: configure step chooses wrong tclsh [PATCH]

The following patch should solve the problem.

One way of applying it:

 - save it to a file, say "xotch-1.2.0/choose-right-tclsh.diff"
 - cd xotcl-1.2.0
 - cat choose-right-tclsh.diff | patch -p1

Once you have done this, you must run autoconf to regenerate
the script "configure". Following this, the configure script
will always choose the tclsh specified by the supplied tclConfig.sh.
