Hi,

In my experience, Windows users (not Mac users forced to use Windows) 
_expect_ "." to be in the PATH.

Regarding the tclsh thing:  IMHO to unwaste space, we should add a

	#!/bin/sh
	exec tclsh84 "$@"

instead.  MinGW does not have symlinks, and we should not put more space 
to waste than Windows does already, by copying files around (yes, the 
repository will not care, but the working tree will).

Ciao,
