Re: tclsh83.exe should be cygtclsh83.exe

It would be great if this was used. It is a complete tcl that works under cygwin.
But that tk is X-based, isn't it? There is no way that the default
cygwin tk will be an X-dependent one; none of Red Hat's commercial
customers want to fire up an Xserver just to run the GNUpro debugger
(that is, gdb/insight). And as a non-commercial free-as-in-beer user of
cygwin, I *agree* with that. Those commercial customers provide the
money that keeps Corinna and cgf employed, supporting cygwin (even tho
it's not part of cgf's job description), and cranking out the new
goodies for us.
There have been discussions about a "tk-X" and "tk"(native "MS"
windowing, cygwin runtime) version -- but nobody, not even me, has
stepped up to the plate to provide it, and work out the issues related
to both versions coexisting on the same user's machine. I do *not* want
to restart that thread again here -- but check the ml list archives for
more info; I think the most recent discussion was back in early
September/late August 2002.
