Re: Cygwin build

["smsutton at iwon dot com" <smsutton at iwon dot com>]

I've attached my modified makefiles, the first one is from tcltk, the second from win.  I had to set the TCL_LIBRARY to /usr/share/lib (where Tcl/Tk installed itself) and move xconq.exe to the root directory.  That's about all the changes.  I didn't even have to comment out the X stuff at the end of tkwin32.c.
