Description:	The attached patch adds the standard Framework directories to the tcl_pkgPath along with @executable_path/../Frameworks and @executable_path/../PrivateFrameworks (if they exists) and the directories in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH (if set) . It also extends tclPkgUnknown and tcl_findLibrary to search inside the Resources/Scripts subdirectory of any potential package directory. All this on MacOSX/Darwin only

This also simplifies the platform specific handlers somewhat since we no longer need to check for interp safety there. dgp added on 2002-10-24 02:30:45: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 See the Tcl Bug 627660 and check that this patch will not have similar trouble. das added on 2002-10-23 08:52:37: File Added - 33654: package.diff das added on 2002-10-23 08:52:36: Logged In: YES user_id=90580 attached additional patch (to be applied on top of the earlier one) that splits off the platfrom specific package searching functionality into separate [package unknown] handlers. These handlers first call through to the standard handler, followed by the platform specific search. assigning to Don for review. das added on 2002-10-22 23:39:59: Logged In: YES user_id=90580 checked in after extended discussion on tcl-mac dgp added on 2002-10-17 23:49:39: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Is there a compelling reason to support such a gratuitous platform difference? Seems like it will only cause cross-platform grief as installers and other utilities dealing with installed directory tress have to check "Am I on MacOSX" and install in a different place. What's wrong with just using the existing conventions? das added on 2002-10-17 15:15:36: Logged In: YES user_id=90580 If there are no objections, I'l check this in. das added on 2002-10-17 15:03:38: File Added - 33266: tcl.diff
