tdbc::odbc

Within the tcl8.6.15rc0 release tarball and using MS-VC6 compiler and 32 bit compile.

The "make test" failes due to a missing "t" in the library name of tdbc

When doing nmake -f Makefile.vc test without installation in TCL 8.6, the bundled package failes with the following log, as "tdbc119.dll" is searched without "t":

The relevant line of the makefile is IMHO:

		package ifneeded tdbc $(TDBC_DOTVERSION) \
			{source {$(TDBC_BIN_DIR:\=/)/tdbc.tcl};load {$(TDBC_BIN_DIR:\=/)/$(TDBC_LIB_FILE)} Tdbc}"

The relevant reference "TDBC_LIB_FILE" is defined as:

tdbc$(TDBC_VERSION).dll

tdbc$(TDBC_VERSION)$(SUFX).dll
