I think they are not .a's but .lib's, possibly because I am not a
Cygwinner. If I keep the -L and add the -l, I am back at not finding
the references Tcl_*. If I replace the -L with -l, the linker cannot
find -ltcl84, so I am back at thinking that I have wrong names for the
references, possibly because the sources I loaded was intended for
*nix?
