I don't mean to sound snippety (but it's going to sound that way), but 
anyone willing to build Insight from sources should have the basic 
software background to fix this bug in minutes (reomve "static" from 
"tclWinTCharEncoding" declaration in tclWin32Dll.c)...

Nothing but the usual development stuff.

More importantly, do NOT build 5.2.1 using the included Tcl/Tk. See 
http://sources.redhat.com/insight/cygwin.html for instructions on how to 
revert these to something more stable. (But if you wanted to help debug 
the current cygwin tcl/tk problems, by all means, use what is in 5.2.1.)
