100 points -- there was an older version of tclsh in the path, with
Tcl 8.3, eveything seems to work now.

The point is: Which version of Tcl do we (resp. the libstdc++ testsuite,
as the others also worked with that older version of Tcl) require?


I volunteer to document this in our testing documentation, but I need
some feedback.

(If anybody is using something below Tcl 8.2 and suceeds in running our
full testsuites, please let me know!)
