But then there's a lot of that going around here this week...

It seems to me that libtool should be able to pregenerate a non-gpl,
statically linked cygwin dll version of tcl which will be buildable by
anyone and should automatically correct flaws in the top level configury
while modifying setup.exe to install only the dlls that you want.
libtool seems like the perfect tool for stabilizing cygwin releases
similar to Debian or fetchmail, too.

How hard could this all be??????????

Maybe I'll work on this in my "copious spare time".  Chuckle.  Snort.
That's a good one.

Oh, and the GPL sucks.  Have I mentioned that?  Have I?  Huh?  Should
I mention it again in case you missed it?
