Tcl is currently one part of the Cygwin installation that is pretty much pure windows. It is that way for the sole purpose of working with the insight debugger.

I'm working on this very very slowly but I don't have an ETA for when this will be fixed. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
