Reading scripted documents without installing Mk4tcl.

This code illustrates how to read "scripted documents" in pure Tcl.
The "lsd.tcl" script is a sample utility to "List Scripted Docs".
It runs with any recent Tcl system, i.e. the following should work:
  tclsh lsd.tcl sdx.bin
LIST OF FILES IN THIS DIRECTORY
  README	self
  jolt.so	compiled versions of mmap and mvec
  jolt.c	C source code for jolt.so
  jolt.tcl	replacement code in Tcl, and some basic tests
  lsd.tcl	utility to List Scripted Documents
  mkcompat.tcl	compatibility layer, provides mk::* like cmds
  mkjolt.tcl	MetaKit datafile reader functions
  pkgIndex.tcl	loads jolt
  sdx.bin	sample scripted document
  vkit.tcl	a glimpse of the future (not used by lsd)
The "jolt.so" file is a shared library built for use under Linux,
but it is entirely optional.  If not present, jolt.tcl will revert
to equivalent emulation code in plain, pure, portable Tcl.
