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). If at some point
somebody figures out how to build a similar GUI app/toolkit in the
opposite flavor, it can go in /opt/.
Static X based tcl/tk is doable now. I needed it because I had a
X based tcl/tk app that didn't work right with the cyg native
tcl/tk. dll's will take some effort and coordination upstream.
