But I can't see how to get the versions of Tcllib and Tklib. Is this
possible?

You can show the versions by either capturing the return from package
require, or by rerunning package require at the time you want the data:

     [package require cmdline]
     1.5.2 % puts "cmdline version is $cmdline_ver" cmdline version is
     1.5.2 %

 Ok, understood. Thanks.

No, it is not included. But we recently have code to also include the fossil checkout id.
Here is the code by Alex:

I will add this to the tcllib ticket...
