Agreed. This is basically a special-purpose issue, so the onus is on us 
to figure out what can be done.

The times it has come up to bite the average user are few and far in 
between. In particular, the tcl/tk fiasco is the only one that has 
bitten a significant number of people, and mostly because the Cygwin tcl 
package doesn't follow the Cygwin convention of prefixing the DLL names 
with "cyg" (i.e. instead of "cygtcl84.dll", it's just "tcl84.dll", and 
it ends up getting picked up by programs that try to dynamically load a 
TCL scripting engine).

So anyway, to cut a long story short, I agree with cgf :-).
