Yes, ok. I see.

Then there are three possibilities:

1. native Windows
2. native Cygwin
3. native XFree86 (with Cygwin of course)

Since 1. and 3. are known to work, 2. is obviously the difficult part.

Since the Tcl/Tk & Perl/Tk ports are based on the Windows parts of the
sources maybe it is a good point to start with a look at the relevant
parts in these ports sources.
