I do appreciate your (huge!) effort for fixing a clean port to cygwin. See below.

It's a shortcut (SIC) for "Makefile and/or Makefile.tcldefs".

To be honest, my main intention was to point you back to the cygwin's tcltk last release announcement and to quicken
youto join Chuck's replies to cgf.  As you maintain 2 large ports to cygwin, both depending on tcltk (python and
postgresql),I thought you didn't push enough hard cgf about the remaining problems of his port.
