same file to all $arch or a different file per $arch?

Looks like muniversal does "copy ${worksrcpath} ${worksrcpath}-${arch}", so if it's the same file (or if you can make it be the same file), you could put it into $worksrcpath in pre-configure

looks like it's maybe a different file per arch, though.

I believe tcl's file copy will just merge stuff into a directory, though. So you can copy your file into place in ${worksrcpath}-${arch}  in pre-configure (although then you'll have to duplicate code to figure out which ${worksrcpath}-${arch} directories to use), and you'll need to remove any file in $worksrcpath that would conflict with the file (since copy runs 'file copy' without -force).

Maybe the configure.cmd hack you propose is better?
