For a --help option or for an About box I like to show lib versions.
This is easy for Tcl and for Tk, e.g.

"Tcl v$::tcl_patchLevel/Tk v$::tk_version"

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

I don't think so, as each module within tcllib is separately versioned.

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:

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

No, there is something. I asked this question and Andreas added something.
https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcllib/info/13fc0520a654f9e9
No, it is not included. But we recently have code to also include the
fossil checkout id.
Here is the code by Alex:
https://fossil.sowaswie.de/ooxml/info/424958a4c5506180
I will add this to the tcllib ticket...
