Supporting tcl 8.6

the current tcl version is 8.6, and configure should recognize it. The
attached patch has been in the Debian/Ubuntu packages for a while, so
it's tested.

While that patch looks harmless enough, I'm curious why you'd need it
--- isn't tcl installed as plain "tclsh"?

That's what I thought, but at least at the beginning of the year,
Ubuntu's then-development 14.04 suite didn't have tclsh, but only
tclsh8.6. It was surprising, but easy enough to fix, hence the patch.

Thanks for applying! (And sorry for the last-minute submission, but
better now than later...)
