As far as I recalled cgf's announcement about 20021218-1 tcltk release (
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00992.html) and the thread you've taken part, there _still_ are problems
withtcl/tk autoconf stuff. They were emphasized by Chuck Wilson, and cgf admitted to discuss them only on insight
mail-list.

The lack of tcl/tk autoconf (which includes the presence of non-standard paths in tclConfig.sh/tkConfig.sh) for cygwin,
leadsto wrong Makefile/Makefile.tcldefs for pltcl. I usually managed to bypass this by manually running gcc linking
lineand completing the missing parts.
