Presently I build using tcl/tk 8.6 out of the insight tree for mingw64
The intree 8.4 is IMHO way to old and not suitable for windows Vista
and beyond not to mention 64bit.

AFAIK Tcl/tk 8.4 is out of service. I wanted to update the intree
versions to 8.6 some time ago, but I was shifted away to do
other projects after I did the initial porting of insight to 64bit
windows.

I haven't built a cygwin version of insight for a long time. I am
mainly using insight on mingw64 - where it runs very good as I am
debugging mainly mingw64 code.
