# findBadExternals.tcl --
# 
#	This script scans the Tcl load library for exported symbols
#	that do not begin with 'Tcl' or 'tcl'.  It reports them on the
#	standard output.  It is used to make sure that the library does
#	not inadvertently export externals that may be in conflict with
#	other code.
#
# Usage:
#
#	tclsh findBadExternals.tcl /path/to/tclXX.so-or-.dll
