Adding PACKAGE_PATCHLEVEL to an extension

I added these lines to my configure.ac file:



AC_SUBST([PACKAGE_PATCHLEVEL], [1.0.1])


AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PACKAGE_PATCHLEVEL, "$PACKAGE_PATCHLEVEL")



This passes -DPACKAGE_PATCHLEVEL=\"1.0.1\" to the compiler.



My question is, should I call Tcl_PkgProvide("1.0.1") or just 


Tcl_PkgProvide("1.0")?


Tcl and Tk pass 8.4 not 8.4.9, while the Tile extension passes 0.6.3 not 


0.6.



Also, should my pkgIndex.tcl file call "package provide MyPkg 1.0.1" or


"package provide MyPkg 1.0"? It seems the Tile Windows pkgIndex.tcl file


uses 0.6 while the Tile Unix pkgIndex.tcl file uses 0.6.3.
