/*
 *----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * NsXotcl_Init1 --
 *
 *    Loads the package in each thread-interpreter.
 *    This is needed since XOTcl Class/Object commands are not copied 
 *    from the startup thread to the connection (or any other) thread.
 *    during AOLserver initialization and/or thread creation times.
 *
 *    Why ?
 *    
 *    Simply because these two commands declare a delete callback which is
 *    unsafe to call in any other thread but in the one which created them.
 *
 *    To understand this, you may need to get yourself acquainted with the
 *    mechanics of the AOLserver, more precisely, with the way Tcl interps
 *    are initialized (dive into nsd/tclinit.c in AOLserver distro).
 *   
 *    So, we made sure (by patching the AOLserver code) that no commands with 
 *    delete callbacks declared, are ever copied from the startup thread.
 *    Additionaly, we also made sure that AOLserver properly invokes any
 *    AtCreate callbacks. So, instead of activating those callbacks *after*
 *    running the Tcl-initialization script (which is the standard behaviour)
 *    we activate them *before*. So we may get a chance to configure the
 *    interpreter correctly for any commands within the init script. 
 *    
 *    Proper XOTcl usage would be to declare all resources (classes, objects)
 *    at server initialization time and let AOLserver machinery to copy them
 *    (or re-create them, better yet) in each new thread.
 *    Resources created within a thread are automatically garbage-collected
 *    on thread-exit time, so don't create any XOTcl resources there.
 *    Create them in the startup thread and they will automatically be copied 
 *    for you. 
 *    Look in <serverroot>/modules/tcl/xotcl for a simple example. 
 *
 * Results:
 *    Standard Tcl result.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *    Tcl commands created.
