What if there is no tclsh.exe file at all? I thought
the point of stubs was to remove all the "junk" you
needed to know about a version of Tcl. Can we
just call Tcl_FindExecutable(NULL), will that
still set up the tcl library path properly?

We just want to be able to load Tcl and Tcl Blend
into a JVM without in the "proper" way. From everything
I have read on the newsgroup, Tcl_FindExecutable()
is the "one true way".
