I wasn't trying to move it from /usr/lib to /usr/share. I was trying to
make it find the files that were installed in /usr/share. The change
from lib to share is not something that I did. That seems to be part of
tcl 8.3.
If someone wants to inform me of a better way to do this then I'm open
for suggestions. In the meantime, I'm carrying this change as a local
modification when I release new versions of insight for windows.
I'm trying to avoid this:
Tcl_Init failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
{} f:/cygwin/share/tcl8.3 f:/cygwin/share/tcl8.3 f:/share/tcl8.3 f:/share/tcl8.3/library f:/library f:/../tcl8.3/library ../tcl8.3/library
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Until the net release understands cygwin, I think we'll always need a few
tweaks.
