It is sometimes difficult to decide between a flaw and a feature...

The configure script tries to "guess" the default. It first looks
whether you have already a scotty binary or a tclsh binary installed
and it uses that prefix if it finds something. This is a feature in
some places and in other places it might look like a bug. However, you
can easily use the --prefix option to overwrite this test.
Vincent> `make install' installs the file /usr/bin/scotty2.1.9 and

This is the way Tcl and Tk does it. And I think this is good.
Automatically creating these symbolic links can cause ambiguities if
you want to keep an old version or it might even affect running
programs. Such a symbolic link should be created explicitly by the
system administrator.
