Description:	In Cygwin builds, there is no libtcl?.?.dll.a file generated, but still tclConfig.sh contains the line: TCL_LIB_SPEC='-L/usr/lib -ltcl?.?' In the Cygwin build scripts this is solved by changing TCL_LIB_SPEC to point to /usr/bin in stead of /usr/lib, but since /usr/bin is not in the standard search path this is less than ideal. Creating a libtcl?.?.dll.a file in /usr/lib would make this work even without the -L part. So let's add the generation of libtcl?.?.dll.a to the build.
