I think all this misses the point that *right now* people are trying
to build openocd from git and failing. This means there is a problem
which needs to be fixed. I don't think telling people to go create
(.e.g.) cygwin projects to solve their problem is going to be popular.

I'm no expert in these areas, but for me implementing a mechanism that is used by gcc would be the best solution, and I think that many will agree, as such ideas were spoken already.

This mechanism allows to use 3 options:
1. No parameter specified, no jumtcl directory in OpenOCD source tree => use jimtcl library that is installed in the system 2. No parameter specified, jimtcl directory present in OpenOCD source tree => build jimtcl before OpenOCD, use the library in OpenOCD
3. Path to jimtcl library specified => use it in OpenOCD.

That's the way gcc handles dependancies like MPFR, GMP, PPL, etc. (or at least I think it does it this way [; )

4\/3!!
