Oh, and one last thing I forgot. Perhaps the *simplest* compromise, that
allows us to (a) switch the "main" cygwin distribution to use X-based
tcl/tk, AND to have those packages derive from standard upstream sources
rather than gdb's, and (b) retain a working "insight" with minimal
changes to the gdb code base and keep it "native" is this:

a new insight package, compiled with in-tree tcl/tk/itck, but with the
whole schmeil installed into --prefix=/opt/insight as one big package.
No more separate tcltk (except as an empty upgrade helper).  Whether the
new package would provide the development files is maintainer's choice,
but at minimum /opt/insight would have

  /opt/insight/bin/insight.exe
  /opt/insight/bin/tcl84.dll
  /opt/insight/bin/tclpip84.dll
  /opt/insight/bin/tclsh84.exe
  /opt/insight/bin/tk84.dll
  /opt/insight/bin/wish84.exe
  /opt/insight/lib/dde1.2/*
  /opt/insight/lib/insight1.0/*
  /opt/insight/lib/itcl3.2/*
  /opt/insight/lib/itk3.2/*
  /opt/insight/lib/reg1.1/*
  /opt/insight/lib/tk8.4/*
  /opt/insight/share/insight1.0/*
  /opt/insight/share/itcl3.2/itcl.tcl
  /opt/insight/share/itk3.2/*
  /opt/insight/share/itk3.2/*
  /opt/insight/share/iwidgets4.0.1/*
  /opt/insight/share/redhat/gui/*
  /opt/insight/share/tcl8.4/*
  /opt/insight/share/tk8.4/*

'Course, dropping insight entirely is even simpler.
