Hi,

IIRC, postgres builds libpq anyway, but you dont need to compile
postgres with tcl inorder to use pgaccess, as it comes both with libpq
and libpgtcl dlls.
The thing to note though is that you would have to use an 8.3 based
tcl/tk distro as these libs are, AFAIL, not stubs enabled and will not
load under the more recent 8.4 tcl/tk.

WRT cygwin/Xfree, I do not understand why you would not just run pgacess
natively in Windows?
