It works fine on Linux.  It is broken on Cygwin (probably one of those path-style
conversions missing).

There was a bug (I fixed last night) that would cause trouble if your source tree
had both itcl/iwidgets2.2.0 and itcl/iwidgets3.0.0 which was hurting Syd but 
apparently has nothing to do with the Windows case.

It is my list of things to fix.
