Two ways that I know of:

(1) Set $PATH before running runtest.
(2) Set the EXPECT environment variable to the EXPECT binary.

This part confuses me.  dejagnu wants to run an 'expect' binary.
The 'expect' binary is linked with TCL libraries and any special
libraries that you want.  Either I am confused about something,
or dejagnu does not directly running a tclsh binary.

Try setting EXPECT to the name of a shell script that echoes stuff
and then runs special/path/to/tclsh8.4 (passing on its arguments)
and see what happens.
