Summary: _tkinter.c won't build w/o threads?

Initial Comment:
I'm out of my area of expertice here trying to build python on Windows using cygwin and trying to use Tcl/Tk 8.4.2, but...

Anyway, it looks like I can't compile _tkinter.c unless I've configured python to use threads and I didn't because the main python README says not to with cygwin.

For example, tcl_lock is used in many places in _tkinter.c but it is only defined when WITH_THREAD is defined.

And there's no Sleep() function when WITH_THREADS is off, and that's used in WaitForMainLoop().

And in Tkapp_New() there's a call to PyThread_free_lock() that isn't inside an #ifdef WITH_THREAD block.
