Actually the sampleextension-0.2 is years old, and I should remove
the entire www.tcl.tk/doc/tea/ area, since I haven't had time to
correct the old docs.  Most major extension all use TEA2 now (some
use TEA3 in fact, which is relatively recent).  SC_PROG_TCLSH is NOT
the way to go.  Note that the core does not use TEA (Tcl Extension
Architecture) because it is not an extension.
