BUG #5981: Attempt to install language pltcl fails on 64-bit installation

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      5981
Logged by:          Chris Price
Email address:      cjprice@bigpond.net.au
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.3
Operating system:   Winders Server 2008 R2 Standard
Description:        Attempt to install language pltcl fails on 64-bit
installation
Details:

When I try to install the pltcl language on 64-bit Windows version of
PostreSQL (9.0.3) it fails with the following message:
ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/pltcl": No such file or directory
SQL state: 58P01

ActiveTcl is installed.
It works on a 32-bit installation of PostgreSQL.

I notice that the file pltcl.dll is not installed in the $libdir folder on
the 64-bit installation - is there a reason for this? Is the pltcl language
available on 64-bit installations on Windows?

If memory serves, there was no win64 TCL distro available when we put
together the installers for 9.0, so it was left out. There are now of
course, so I'll see about adding support for that for 9.1.
