for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a
pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the
package mechanism.

The parameters supported are:
- -name packageName
- This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is
required.
- -version packageVersion
- This parameter specifies the version of the package. It is
required.
- -load filespec
- This parameter specifies a binary library that must be
loaded with the load command. filespec is a list with two
elements. The first element is the name of the file to load. The second,
optional element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file. If

up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex). Any number of
-load parameters may be specified.
