 The path to gdal's "bin" folder was not in the %PATH%. After adding it,
 the image file save works also from Tcl/Tk. So it's an OSGeo4W-related
 issue, I assume.

 Actually, we were focusing on GRASS for that training, but you know, when
 you start by introducing the concept of open source and OSGeo software in
 general, it's nice to show students (who never approached FOSS4G before)
 that there is a convenient way for installing everything easily. Maybe
 next time we will use the stand-alone installer for GRASS-focused
 trainings.

 Eugenio
