Yeah, this looks like a configure bug in libgui.  I vaguely remember fixing
this in the past (or maybe Chris or Syd did?)?  Anyway, the configure is
setting ITCL_SH to point to the unix directory.  Clearly, it should
conditionalize based on whether the HOST is windows or not, and look in the
win directory if it is.

I think you can fix this with an environment variable, so if itclsh.exe is
in /win32/itcl/itcl/win, then try:

make ITCL_SH=/win32/itcl/itcl/win/itclsh.exe

If this doesn't work, just go edit libgui/Makefile, and replace the
unix/itclsh.exe with win/itclsh.exe, and that also will work.

Somebody should fix this (not me, I ain't got no Windows boxes...)

P.S. I also agree with Keith that libgui should NOT be trying to make the
tclIndex as part of the build.  It is too fragile, particularly since the
wrong version of Itclsh can cause really bad things to happen...
