The half-baked set of hunks attempts to chase the wording-changes,
that Tcl-8.5 has compared to the earlier releases. It allows TclX
to pass self-tests, when compiled against Tcl-8.5, but is not
suitable for merging into TclX' own tree.

Someone with enough time to make the tests work with all supported
Tcl-versions, should still do that...
