1/2 a year ago you would have got Tk800.* not Tk804.*
I would like to see Tk804 work too, but if you just need _a_ Tk 
then using Tk800.025.tar.gz may be easier.

Something #if enabling Win32-isms, but has not caused the Win32
related .h files to be created.

This is a Cygwin porting issue.
I have never had much success with cygwin myself - the Cygwin port 
was done by someone else.

These are likely fall-out from above.
