Distribution mechanisms for Tcl source and binaries

   * [Teacup] - a tool for fetching and managing modules from a repository
   * [Tcl Modules] - a single file that contains a package and can be [source]d
   * [package] - command for loading and managing code, usually installed in Tcl's lib directory
   * [source] - command to load a Tcl source file
   * [load] - load a shared library (DLL or SO file)
   * [auto_load] - load a command using the tclIndex files in the auto-load path

[KJN] I have started this page because I am beginning to get confused by the number of possible distribution mechanisms.  Have ''auto_load'' and ''load'' have been made obsolete by ''package''?

Please discuss.
