I had played around with fixing the Tcl stuff on Cygwin, too, but I don't
recall that the solution was that easy. Have you tried actually running
the PL/Tcl language (there's a test suite in the source tree)?

I don't think so. If we had to follow everyone's idea for naming the Tcl
shell (for every version) we could never keep up. Plus ...

I don't believe that either. The tclsh83.exe on Cygwin prints out
DOS-style paths, which would surely confuse things.
