Well that ldesc is confusing considering that.
I think some of the confusion stems from the fact that tk is too closely
associtated with tcl.
Tk is a toolkit. Toolkits are usually implemented in shared libraries, and
IFAIK Tk is no exception.
The FAQ for Perl/TK implies that the toolkit code is very similar between
both tcl's TK and this implementation.
If that is the case there should really be three packages upstream.
tk - contains the library (maintained by tcl people)
tcltk - tcl interface to the tk library (maintained by tcl people)
Perl/Tk - perl interface to tk lib. (maintained by Perl/Tk people)
Some reasonable set of packages should be available in Cygwin.
