DESCRIPTION
       ::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl
       library.  It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded command
       for a given package specification.  It can be used to construct a
       pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.


OPTIONS
       The parameters supported are:

       -name packageName
              This parameter specifies the name of the package.  It is
              required.

       -version packageVersion
              This parameter specifies the version of the package.  It is
              required.

       -load filespec
              This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded
              with the load command.  filespec is a list with two elements.
              The first element is the name of the file to load.  The second,
              optional element is a list of commands supplied by loading that
              file.  If the list of procedures is empty or omitted,
              ::pkg::create will set up the library for direct loading (see
              pkg_mkIndex).  Any number of -load parameters may be specified.

       -source filespec
              This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it
              specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the source
              command.  Any number of -source parameters may be specified.

       At least one -load or -source parameter must be given.
