Adding to my message on Tcl/Tk and WinGRASS, there is a further problem I noticed -- maybe someone else is fighting with this, too.
The 'wish' interpreter does not work on MSYS if you copy the executable int /usr/bin (which on my system translates to C:\msys\1.0\bin)! It runs just fine from /mingw/bin or /usr/local/bin. I thought my problem was the non-GPL version of Tcl/Tk, but this seems to be it! I'll try with the GPL libs again now, and report back later whether we still need ActiveTcl.
