@subsection Why doesn't Cygwin tcl/tk understand Cygwin paths?
The versions of Tcl/Tk distributed with Cygwin (e.g. cygtclsh80.exe) are
not actually "Cygwin versions" of those tools. They are built with the
@samp{-mno-cygwin} option to @code{gcc}, which means they do not
understand Cygwin mounts or symbolic links.
