Now that strace and cygcheck work in without having to explicitly mount
them non-cygexec, the FAQ needs updating anyways.  On the other hand, is
there any possibility that the tcl maintainer can tweak tcl to work when
mounted cygexec by borrowing from what cygcheck did?  I know there is a
history behind tcl being a native app instead of a tcl app, but it is
rather annoying when it doesn't play nicely.
