But that tk is X-based, isn't it?  There is no way that the default 
cygwin tk will be an X-dependent one; none of Red Hat's commercial 
customers want to fire up an Xserver just to run the GNUpro debugger 
(that is, gdb/insight).  And as a non-commercial free-as-in-beer user of 
cygwin, I *agree* with that.  Those commercial customers provide the 
money that keeps Corinna and cgf employed, supporting cygwin (even tho 
it's not part of cgf's job description), and cranking out the new 
goodies for us.

There have been discussions about a "tk-X" and "tk"(native "MS" 
windowing, cygwin runtime) version -- but nobody, not even me, has 
stepped up to the plate to provide it, and work out the issues related 
to both versions coexisting on the same user's machine.  I do *not* want 
to restart that thread again here -- but check the ml list archives for 
more info; I think the most recent discussion was back in early 
September/late August 2002.
