Could we conceivably do coexistence by bringing in the new properly cygwinized versions at version 8.5 and keep the current 8.4 DLLs and /usr/share files around for backward compat?
Not AFAIK. The DLLs aren't really the issue as they use different naming schemes, but the extensions (defined by the pkgIndex.tcl files) which ship with the Win32 version are bound to conflict (at runtime) or collide with *NIX/X11 versions.
