Well yes, I did but got a myriad of error messages. I now do believe,
you need to comment out a few lines in _tkinter.c.

//#if TKMAJORMINOR < 8000 || !defined(MS_WINDOWS)
//#define HAVE_CREATEFILEHANDLER
//#endif

Cygwin does not define MS_WINDOWS, since it is kind of a "UNIX"
system. Nevertheless the two functions which were giving me the error
are not included ( other than in the expect526.a which does not work )

With this change _tkinter.c does compile and link fine and IDLE, for
example is running. I still do have lot's of problems with PATH
settings, but that's another story.

Thanks for your help, Monika Göhmann
