First, I would like three packages to be added to cygwin-pkg-maint:
- mingw64-i686-tcl-thread
- mingw64-x86_64-tcl-thread
- tcl-thread
This is meant for the Tcl-Tk "thread" extension.
Second, making my point, this time with proof.....

In the mingw32-xxx-tcl packages, loading the "registry" and "dde"
sub-packages doesn't work. The reason is the wrong setting of the
$auto_path variable, which is caused by the fedora patches:
tclsh86
% info nameofexecutable
C:/builds/cygwin32/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/tclsh86.EXE
% package require registry
can't find package registry
% set auto_path
C:/builds/cygwin32/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/tcl8.6
% set auto_path C:/builds/cygwin32/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib
C:/builds/cygwin32/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib
% package require registry
1.3.2
% package require dde
1.4.0
%
Of course, I will fix this in the next version.
