If you don't mind going back to Tcl/Tk 8.0.3, there are instructions for
taking any version of Insight (>=5.2) and reverting to the old tcl/tk at
http://sources.redhat.com/insight/cygwin.html .
If you want a newer version (like Tcl/Tk 8.3 or 8.4.0), well, you're going
to have to do a lot of leg work (as you're finding out). I am attempting
to port Tcl/Tk 8.4.0 over to cygwin now, but don't expect much for at
least a few more weeks.
As far as building Tcl/Tk outside of the insight build, you'd probably
have to hack up the configury for tix, libgui and gdb directories so that
you could pass --with-tcl-dir and the like to them. I've been wanting to
do this for some time now, but other things always seem to get in the way.
