I have successfully built perl Tk 800.024 (with Gerrit's help) for X 
windows.
I haven't tried later versions of Tk or the windows native version.


(Gerrit says this is no longer necessary with perl-5.8.5 for Cygwin, but I
haven't verified this)

0) Get a copy of Tk-800.024.tar.gz from the web
1) cd /usr/X11R6/lib
2) ln -s libX11.dll.a libX11.a
3) cd ~/mybuildarea
4) tar xzf Tk-800.024.tar.gz
5) cd Tk800.024/
6) less README.cygwin
7) perl Makefile.PL x
8) make && make test && make install
