tcl::pkgconfig, proposed by
TIP 59, a
built-in Tcl command, first appeared in Tcl version
8.5.
- There is no good reason ever to use tcl::pkgconfig for anything except building.

dbohdan 2015-03-12: As of Tcl 8.6.3 the following information is available in through
::tcl::pkgconfig on Linux (with example values from
Fedora 21).

| 64bit | 0 |

I found the
*,runtime values useful in building
a Tcl extension without having to resort to
autoconf on systems where no information about Tcl is available from
pkg-config (e.g,
Ubuntu).
