Title: Thread does not build with Tcl 8.3

Description:
The current HEAD revision of the Thread
package doesn't configure, make, and
make install cleanly on Linux(/Alpha)
against Tcl 8.3.  Notably there's a
missing substitution in pkgIndex.tcl,
and a header file rename that hadn't
been reflected in Makefile.in.

Here's a patch, that restores
installability, though not correct
functioning.  (see next bug report)

Hmmm.... looking at the patch, I see
a dilemma over what version of
autoconf to use.  Apparently the current
HEAD was built with 2.52, but that appears
to have cause configure failure (looking
for a non-exitent config/config.sub file?)
on Linux.  After adding the 

AC_SUBST(THREAD_VERSION_SUBSET83)

to configure.in, I just regen'd using
autoconf 2.13, just cause that's what I have
installed.  If this choice matters, we ought
to come to an agreement on it.
