[CMake] TCL modules

[Clifford Yapp]

FWIW, BRL-CAD has its own FindTCL.cmake module which is quite different
from the current one, in case that is helpful/of interest:

http://brlcad.svn.sf.net/viewvc/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/FindTCL.cmake?revision=45989&view=markup

We'd eventually like to fold all of our updates to various modules back
into CMake, but for a number of them that essentially means volunteering to
maintain them :-).  That probably makes sense (we'll be doing it anyway,
after all) but so far we haven't had the time to get organized about
volunteering to do so and formally proposing our changes/updates.

Cheers,
CY
