The pkgIndex.tcl file is constructed to
look for the files ../lib/ttrace.tcl or ttrace.tcl
relative to the $dir that holds pkgIndex.tcl.
This implies that only builds in subdirs of
thread.2.6.1 can be tested prior to installation.

It should not be so.  Other build dirs should
be supported.

Fixed in HEAD. Also corrected the problem when directory 
path contains blanks or other special characters.

BTW, that [subst] scheme within
the pkgIndex.tcl file will also fail
whenever $dir has spaces in it,
or is otherwise "list-unsafe".

Attached patch is good enough
to let the current test suite run
successfully.  Perhaps better solutions
involve [tcl_findLibrary] or
[thread::pkgconfig get scriptdir,source].
