 Would be nice if you do it. I think it should not take lots of time. Just
checkout and import.
Actually in my case 8.4 works fine enough on Win7 64bit, but with some
patches.

 Yes, MinGW version is better, but there is one thing. Actually my target is
an embedded ARM Linux system, and it's quite hard to use MinGW. For example,
in order to generate SquashFS images correctly, build libraries, etc, i need
support for symlinks. This is why i stick to Cygwin. And MinGW software
doesn't read Cygwin symlinks, so it is not easy to use "set sysroot" in
Insight.
 I could try building Cygwin version myself, however first TCL update is
needed because i don't want to carry on all that patches. This is why i'm
asking for TCL update.
