I'm sorry but I do not see how the information available on the Cygwin 
site is able to help me. There is no more recent version of tcltk 
available from the ports site than the one that ships with Cygwin, and 
that version is from 2003.

So I tried to find out who maintains the tcltk package for Cygwin, and 
that turned out to be you (see your post on cygwin.applications). So I'd 
like to kindly ask to if you can privide a never tcltk package which 
hopefully solve the bug in glob I currently see. Here's the bug again:

--(snip)--
puts stdout [glob ../common/*.cpp]

For some reason this returns *absolute* paths to the matching files, e.g.

d:/Development/common/test.cpp

instead of the expected

../common/test.cpp

Using ActiveTcl (under Windows) and under Linux the script works as 
expected.
