Ok, I mounted my NTFS partition that has Cygwin.
I looked at tk.h and it says:
#ifndef _XLIB_H
# ifdef MAC_TCL
# include <Xlib.h>
# include <X.h>
# else
# include <X11/Xlib.h>
# endif
#endif
And the only X11/Xlib.h in my entire Cygwin filespace is under
/usr/X11R6/include, which, of course, is the real thing, not a
Tcl/Tk imitation.
So, if anyone was to build a Tcl/Tk-based app under this setup
(and it is a relatively recent and fairly standard one), he/she
would, in fact, end up depending on the real X11 stuff. From this
standpoint, any Cygwin app built thusly would be a true X11 client
in need of a true X11 server.
But, I suppose this a wasted point, since what you prescribe seems
like a good idea (it also devalues the AS Tcl/Tk in my eyes).
It would be nice to build Tcl/Tk for Windows natively under
Cygwin, and then statically link it into Xconq, removing the
need of Tcl and Tk DLL's and whatnot. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Your patch looks fine. I was going to commit it later this
evening, but I suppose I should boot into Windows first and
actually test it.... I'll take care of it soon, but maybe not
today.
Thanks,
Eric
