It gets more complicated... *sigh*. I'm aware that there are native Win32 Tcl / 
Tk / Wish. The ones that are built and shipped with WinAVR are due to Insight 
being built. Insight, coming from RedHat, is built using... you guessed it, 
Cygwin. The Insight program uses Tcl / Tk for it's UI, but when it builds those 
DLLs, it links them to the Cygwin DLL. Wish is linked to the same Cygwin Tcl / 
Tk DLLs. The biggest problem in that list above is trying to develop a patch 
for (now) 6.1 GDB / Insight / Tcl / Tk / Wish. =:-o

Which has licensing issues IIRC.

I have my doubts on this happening.

Feel free to bring it up on their list.
