Yeah, I don't know about it either. The new Tcl/Tk just don't work on
cygwin very reliably. I don't know why, either. I've looked at some of the
work that was done, and there are some obvious problems (like linking with
-Wl,-e,_WinMain@16). But even beyond this, I can still get it to crash
pretty easily (but deep in the bowels of Tcl/Tk).

I am beginning to think that we should take tcl/tk 8.3 out of sources and
put it on a branch, putting the old tcl/tk back into sources. Or we could
keep the new tcl/tk in sources and put the old tcl onto the release branch
for 5.2 (and any future versions). Or we could simply use 8.3 on unix
releases and make a "special" cygwin tree off of 5.2 which has the old
tcl/tk in it. :-)
