Actually no: the cygwin tk does not depend on X, but it doesn't
contain the right headers either. You have to download the source to
the tcl/tk package, extract the headers, and configure using

 --x-includes=<<tk's xlib header directory, e.g. /usr/include/tk/xlib>>

(Probably the same you are doing to compile with the AS package).
Otherwise configure will find the standard X11 headers which are
incompatible and the resulting application will crash on startup.

Also it seems there is still some tweaking of at least win/Makefile.in
neccessary. it would be nice if somebody could commit something along
the lines of (one still has to muck with TCLTKLIB, but I see no way to
autodetect this):
