That is a good question, I assume from the tone of your question, it is you.
However, I searched the cygwin-apps announce for the new release of tcl/tk
and found no mention of it.  There is also no /usr/doc directory for tcl/tk.  

I guess I am still a bit upset, that the tcl/tk from setup no longer does 
what I need it to do.   The older one was a more complete although very old
release.  I do not think that a tcl/tk release meant only for python and gdb
is a very general solution.   And there is a complete port of tcl/tk that works
with cygwin, so why not use that one.
