The majority of Mumit Khan's patches are currently part of Tcl 8.3.5 cvs and
Tcl 8.4.1 cvs (Which are both due out soon) but they only add basic Cygwin
support and there is still a minor compile problem due to Cygwin's version
of windres failing to understand windows style paths.
Check http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg00422.html for the
other Tcl changes for Cygwin that would be required.
