Changed behavior

The default package unknown command now searches two directory levels below the directories in $auto_path, not just one.

On Windows, tclsh sets tcl_rcFileName to ~/tclshrc.tcl instead of ~/.tclshrc .

grid forget has similar semantics to pack forget.

auto_execok returns a list of arguments suitable for passing to exec, not simply 0 or 1.
