8.6 in this case. So you could think that the new path should be
tcl8/${BASEVER} here, but this seems to be number of the version this
module was introduced at, keeping it there, in line with

+lib/tcl8/8.5/msgcat-1.6.1.tm

wich is still that path also for tcl 8.6.x. I admit that this kind of
naming is confusing for any attempt at automatic PLIST generation.

I'm fine with that. One round of sleep for the one person around the
globe who can shed more light on this;-)
