I am abandoning further effort altogether, because of this:

adunstan: ~/tcl8.4.9/win
$ ./configure --enable-shared
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for ar... ar
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking for windres... windres
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for Cygwin environment... yes
configure: error: Compiling under Cygwin is not currently supported.
A maintainer for the Cygwin port of Tcl/Tk is needed. See the README
