I notice that the Tcl/Tk libraries are the only DLLs (*) in Cygwin's
/usr/bin that don't follow the "cygwin DLL naming convention" of
prefixing "cyg" to the DLL name.
(The issue that prompts this idle speculation is described in these
postings:
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00195.html

)
This just a casual question: why? I know, WJM and all that, but why
don't these libraries have a "cyg" prefix - which would solve all these
problems?
And I suppose it's too late to fix this now, even if it could be? I
guess it would require re-releasing several packages that depend on it..
