OK. You are ahead of me in that regard. Like I said, I have not 
tested compiling the Xt/Xaw interface against Cygwin/XFree86.

If you want to send a diff of your changes, I will test and apply 
it in the next few days.

OK. ActiveTcl also provides its own partial substitute Xlib. 
Perahps the prototypes in its headers are not compatible with the 
ones in the native X11 headers, and this was the reason the 
functions were declared with void return values? I will look into 
this more next time I boot into Windows.

I will, when I get home tonight.
But, instead of using the "--enable-ui" option, could you perhaps 
just leave it out (which will make the Tcl/Tk interface the 
default), and then do a "make all-xtconq" which should attempt to 
build the Xt/Xaw interface? Perhaps there is some screwiness in 
the configure.in template....
