I am _extremely_ skeptical that this is a good idea.  At best this is a
crutch to avoid fixing packages which do not use the real libtcl
correctly, at worst this will be used by package authors _instead_ of
using the real tcl correctly, and introduce bloat.

I asked you before to show a single instance of a package which could
not, by linking correctly, be used with a correctly-compiled tcl.  You
provided none.

More to the point, if we follow the logic by which you created this
package, you should immediately create a lang/libtcl-nolibm package,
since libtcl is _just as much_ dependent on dynamic users also linking
against libm as it is for libpthread.

Please back this package out unless you can point to a package which
_cannot_ be simply fixed to use the real libtcl.
