I checked in with the main author, and these are supposed to be plug-in libraries, loaded by Tcl, and *eventually* supposed to be loadable by other foreign packages. They may not need to be in a search path if they are loaded using a full path (and it seemed that way from the wrapper scripts in that package.) A test of the newly built package's executable confirmed this. For now, Dave Reiser's suggestion of LDFLAGS += -install_name ... worked, and now the package validates with the .dylibs as private libs. I plan to work with the author on automake-libtoolizing this project in the future, so hopefully that will make this sort of maintainence easier. Thanks for the help.
