Subject: tclsh does not understand cygwin paths

The tclsh84 does not understand cygwin style paths.
So, if you do tclsh /cygdrive/c/foo/bar.tcl it can not
find the file.   

This tcl does:
 ftp://ftp.nanotech.wisc.edu/pub/khan/tcl/tcltk-8.3.4-cygwin/

I was wondering if Mumit Khan's patches for tcl could be incorporated
into the cygwin tclsh.   It seems sort of bad that the default
tcl that comes with cygwin does not fully understand cygwin paths.
