Hi Roger,

This link tells you how CMake variables were set on the machine at 
Kitware that builds VTK with Tcl wrapping on cygwin: 
http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Sites/DASH4.kitware/Win32-cygwin331/20051117-0300-Nightly/Notes.html. 
It can be found on the dashboard page by clicking the first link 
beside the build name (Win32-cygwin331, in your case); most machines 
on the dashboard submit these notes.
