looking into https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1389059-fsfindfolder and https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/12265 gives me an idea that no actual replacement exists. OTOH I think that code following after the code in question should find and use existing tcl shared library on PATH; I would even suggest to remove the said code. any thoughts or alternate suggestions?
