Bug #2840: Tk doesn't built in mingw
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2840

Author: Roger Pack
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: mingw

Currently the tk extension "search" finds existing Tk headers (ex: 
c:\Tcl), but then fails when it tries to compile with them.

Find Tcl/Tk libraries. Make tcltklib.so which is required by Ruby/Tk.
