That's true.  Hopefully in the next update.  We are working on it.

That's the incomplete installer problem I reported yesterday.  I'll
announce a replacement full.exe soon that will have gdb.exe, and the
missing tk/tcl bits.

I was able to build all of these in my tests on NT 4.  Windows 95/98
has serious problems running configure scripts; we're looking into it
still and will issue an update cygwin1.dll as soon as we've made
progress.

Hmmm.  I'll have to try to reproduce this.

B20 was tested mostly on Windows NT 4.0 SP3.  We did some testing on
SP4 but it has only just come out; I haven't been getting good vibes
so far about SP4 though in general.  We also tested B20 on Windows 95
OSR 2.5 and Windows 98 to some extent.

Perhaps it's not happy on plain old NT 4 without service packs?
Dunno...
