If this was REALLY a full tclsh83.exe, I would have less of a problem with it.
However, this is some small sub-set of tclsh83 that replaces a FULL cygtclsh80.exe.
Perhaps this one should be called cyg-gdb-tclsh.    If you have programs like cmake 
or configure scripts that look for tclsh, they find this one, and mistakenly think
it is a working tcl which it is not.   The comment in setup.exe says it is only for
use with gdb.
