IMHO...

Every package, whether in the tcllib distribution or not, ought to
document its dependencies in the SYNOPSIS of its man page.

For example, the documentation for package smtp 1.4 ought to have
a SYNPOSIS like:

    package require Tcl 8.3
    package require mime 1.4
    package require smtp 1.4
    
    <document each command syntax...>
    
Except for the missing "8.3" requirement for Tcl, the smtp package
docs satisify this.  Are there packages in tcllib that do not?
