This one should be easy to stop at least :).Even if it's only a soft link to the most recently installed tclshNN (like RPM post-install scripts do for the linux kernel etc.). I know cygwin has got post-install scripts, so any reason not to?I don't know what post-install scripts have to do with anything but I'll add symbolic links to everything in the cygwin tcl release if it stops just one of these tcl/tk complaints.
Well the idea is that every time a new tcl package installs it runs: "ln -sf tclsh84 /usr/bin/tclsh" in a postinstall stage, substituting for whatever tcl version it is.
Or you could include the symlink directly in the tarball^Wcygwin package if it can cope with that, and you never expect people to have two tcl versions installed at the same time causing a conflict. But I guess you don't since /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh also exists without version suffix.
Anyway, whichever. As long as /usr/bin/tclsh ends up pointing to any installed tclsh version, I'm not fussy.
Is the attached patch sufficient? Is anything required to ensure it doesn't get lost in subsequent imports?
