Re: patch for expect to build on Cygwin

It would also find the wrong tcl config file: tcl/cygwin/tclConfig.sh
is full of variables that aren't substituted properly, and itcl/tcl.m4
indicates we should be using tcl/win/tclConfig.sh instead, so I'm
changing expect to that effect.  In fact, if you're unlucky to have
expect configured before itcl, it would pollute config.cache to the
point that itcl wouldn't build.

What I don't understand is why itcl has outdated code in its
aclocal.m4.  That code is not used, it is tcl.m4 that is used in
iwidgets.

Anyway, I'm going ahead and checking this in as well, which should get
s.r.c gdb/insight/etc back to a buildable state on Cygwin regardless
of the order in which expect and itcl are configured (or if
config.cache is disabled)

	* aclocal.m4 (CY_AC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Use .../tcl/win, not cygwin.
	* configure, Dbgconfigure, testsuite/configure: Rebuilt.
