    In this case it works, but in general if you do it from a wish command
    line it will cause some breakages with the plot readline completion and
    BLT (I think). 
    
    I guess the "package require spice" step should be kept so the normal
    tcl programmer can make use of tclspice, but a button or alias should be
    made in magic to do this for you. 
    I guess this is up to the magic guys.

    Ok, I will change tcl_install to install-tcl to unify that step. 
    
    I will not do the make config -> ./configure change as the tclspice
    Makefiles are autoconf / automake based thus require configure.
    ./configure --help is useful and works.
    
    Will do a new tclspice release soon when I have it mostly fixed.
    
    Thanks for the info,
