FindTclStub

Finds the Tcl Stub Library, which is used for building version-independent Tcl extensions.

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a dynamic programming language, and the Tcl Stub Library provides a mechanism to allow Tcl extensions to be compiled in a way that they can work across multiple Tcl versions, without requiring recompilation.

This module is typically used in conjunction with Tcl development projects that aim to be portable across different Tcl releases. It first calls the FindTCL module to locate Tcl installation and then attempts to find the stub libraries corresponding to the located Tcl version.
