Version increment to 8.5.8

The 3rd part of the sed

-e "/SEARCH/s/=.*/=/"

does not seem to be needed in 8.5.7

Guy, I am ready to do the updates to Tcl-8.5.8. Let me know.

[Guy Dalziel]

Randy, you can go ahead and take this and Tk if you'd like. I was going to update them even though I don't use them, but to do that I was going to clone my system and chroot into it to avoid messing it up. Unfortunately I don't have a spare drive at the moment so I put them on the back burner.

Replying to bdubbs@…:

I believe you are correct. I executed the first two lines of the sed. Then the last line separately. Here's the result:
