Tk must remain Win32GUI, or *a* Win32GUI Tk must remain, for the sake of insight? > It may be possible, eventually, to have both win32GUI-cygwin-runtime-tk > and XGUI-cygwin-runtime-tk on the same machine, but nobody has > undertaken the daunting task to make that happen. Ditto gtk. Others have mentioned building *NIX tcl/tk on Cygwin, and I wouldn't call building gtk2 daunting; I'm not personally interested, as I'm focusing on the X11 ports. > However, I don't see the problem in assuming that GUI apps are presumed > to be X-flavor (with the tk exception, above).

What's stopping us from moving the Win32 tcltk in /opt/win32, and making new *NIX tcl and tk packages in /usr? Then all that's necessary for insight is to add /opt/win32 to PATH (either through a script, profile.d, or manually). Similar packages (i.e. that have both X11/*NIX and Win32 flavors) could use /opt/win32 as well.
