A word of caution wrt Tcl/Tk for Cygwin: upstream incorrectly treats
Cygwin as a Win32 platform, necessitating extensive patches to make it
comply with *NIX/X11 standards. These patches CANNOT be dropped
without breaking compatibility, since Win32 and X11 APIs do not
interact. Fortunately, Tcl/Tk moves rather slowly, so the existing
patches should serve you well for some time.
