I haven't tried ActiveTcl, but the problem with the standard Cygwin
Tcl/Tk package is that it uses "Windows" filenames (i.e. "/"
corresponds to "C:\"), rather than the filenames used by the rest of
the Cygwin package (where "/" typically corresponds to "C:\cygwin").

The xtcltk package from the GRASS site works fine (but the native
XDRIVER doesn't work on Win98).
