Just one more comment: if you run Xotcl from its local directory (where you've compiled it), the auto_path points first to the local xotcl directory (containing patchlevels).
In any other case, it points only to the installation directories; here, there is no patchlevel in xotcl's lib directory name (due to Tcl compatibility; Tcl does not install with the patchlevel).

Hi there!
I do like version numbers, but there is a "too much" in everything.
What is the deeper benefit of having the version number for xotcl recursively even inside the source-tree?
What actually happens for me is that now I seem to have problems building the code because in 1.0.1 When running xotcl-1.0.1/xotclsh I do find ..../xotcl-1.0 in the auto_path instead of the required/expected .../xotcl-1.0.1.
I haven't yet found out where it goes wrong but it looks like the $VERSION doesn't use the revision counter in some Makefile.
The question is: why all this fuzz?
Didn't anybody else see this occurring, did I mess up anything?
