[ECOS] Fwd: Cygwin instalation for eCos

[Alexander Aganichev]

I found the root of the problem, but cannot explain it. The c:\cygwin
was a mounting point for the partition, so after I copied Cygwin to
main partition TCL started working again. Surprise, surprise!!! :-) I
cannot explain that, but it's a fact. Just in case someone will step
on this again let's document the solution here :-)
