Thanks for spotting that Alan - I hadn't considered that people might edit the
scripts with native Windows tools
I have made a bit more progress on getting the Tcl tests to run on my machine.
In the end I got pltcl to run under Cygwin. Not sure what changed, but I
managed to get a prompt.
There were a few things in the tcl script that I had to modify. Firstly in my
environment the path wasn't preserved when a new instance of bash is opened,
although the current directory is. So where new bash instances were created I
had to cd to an appropriate location first.
However the biggest thing, that took me a while to work out was that my pltcl
and all the examples, which are built in native Windows require native Windows
paths, even when run from Cygwin - which makes perfect sense really, path
interpretation is built into an exe and is nothing to do with the running
environment.
So I'm not sure where to go here. I'm not sure at what point path
interpretation is built in. I imagine it depends upon whether you have a
Windows or Cygwin install of Tcl. I'm not sure what the best strategy is here
to check what format paths are needed. Any suggestions? This could go all the
way back to a CMAKE option for the initial build.

OK, I have made this change (commit 5ba6591). You and Arjen should
carefully check this commit to make sure it doesn't clobber any binary
files by looking for any LF in the binary file and changing it to
something else.
