Excellent, thanks very much!

I agree with that sentiment.  If you have the resources, it would be nice to
test a number of different configurations on cygwin.  Testing with  
both types of
OpenGL comes to mind; c.f.

What I meant to say is: if you have the resources for just *one*  
nightly build,
it's of most benefit to build with recent cygwin packages.  IMHO, of course.

I'm confused by your question.  The file X11/Xlib.h is from X11, not tk.

   $cygcheck -f /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h
   xorg-x11-devel-6.8.99.901-1

The tcl/tk headers come in the cygwin binary package.

   $cygcheck -f /usr/include/tk.h
   tcltk-20060202-1

With these two packages installed (and NO tcl source package), I was able
to built VTK with TCL wrapping out of the box.  In particular, I did not have
to set TK_XLIB_PATH (the computed value is TK_XLIB_PATH:PATH=/usr/include).
If you have pre-xorg X11 packages, then you likely need to set this variable
to /usr/X11R6/include.  (With xorg, /usr/include/X11 is a symlink to
/usr/X11R6/include/X11).
