The Tk interface was a unix-only hack. Since there was no win32 support for OpenGL widgets, we moved to glut/freeglut as an everywhere available toolkit.
Since then, Prima has added OpenGL support and our understanding of the issues has improved so support for more GUI toolkits is planned with the next major refactoring of OpenGL and TriD. I think it will happen this spring but my time in cuurently tied up by PDL-2.4.10 and there are no other OpenGL developers at the moment. You can always revert to PDL-2.4.3 which still used the unix-only build but you'll lose a lot inevery other way.
