[tkined] installing development version away from tcl/tk requires hacks...

I have tcl/tk installed from NetBSD's pkgsrc on my development system,
which means when I install the development tkined-1.5.0 (just freshly
updated from CVS):

        1. I must supply --prefix=/usr/local as otherwise it seems to
           default to wanting to install with tcl/tk in /usr/pkg.

        2. I have to hack the tcl init.tcl file to append to the
           auto_path variable so that tkined and the other related apps
           can find their packages.

                lappend auto_path "/usr/local/lib/tnm3.0.0"
                lappend auto_path "/usr/local/lib/tkined1.5.0"

I can see that these might be related, and that the issue might really
just be that the NetBSD pkgsrc install should allow for a site-local
init file, or some such means of specifying a package library directory
(or several) outside of the /usr/pkg hierarchy.

I'm not really familiar with all the magic involved in tcl packages though....
