No, it does not. Insight CVS uses gdb CVS. Insight 6.8 uses gdb 6.8. It
has its own versions of tcl, tk, itcl, etc, but those are now just
copies of some release (currently 8.4, I think). Except on cygwin, I do
not use the supplied versions of tcl et al anymore. I use the
system-supplied versions on Fedora.
Kevin Buettner is working on updating tcl et al CVS on sourceware to the
latest release.

I will give this a go by the end of the week.

You can use whatever version you would like to. It has been a goal of
mine (for quite some time sadly) to eliminate our dependence on a
sourceware-supplied tcl/tk/itcl. That requirement originally came in the
days of Tcl 8.1, when we carried a bunch of local patches to Tcl. We
didn't upgrade sourceware Tcl until 8.4 (or was it 8.3?) and our
supplied version of Tcl became identical to upstream.
A little while ago, I got around to eliminating the requirement for
sourceware-supplied Tcl. But it remains for historical reasons (and
because cygwin still requires it). If we got cygwin "fixed", I guess we
could just simply eliminate it altogether from the repo if no other
project was using it.
