A word of caution wrt Tcl/Tk for Cygwin: upstream incorrectly treats Cygwin as a Win32 platform, necessitating extensive patches to make it comply with *NIX/X11 standards. These patches CANNOT be dropped without breaking compatibility, since Win32 and X11 APIs do not interact. Fortunately, Tcl/Tk moves rather slowly, so the existing patches should serve you well for some time. -- Yaakov
