"#! /usr/bin/env tclsh" will work for modern Cygwin, but are we able to guarantee the availability and location of "env" any more than that of "tclsh" for some arbitrary UNIX-like OS?
'env' is a utility defined by POSIX, whereas 'tclsh' isn't.
There has been no objection to dropping support for tclsh83 and cygtclsh80 so, for the time being, I will take the robust and minimally invasive approach of tweaking the CDL make rule to call "tclsh heapgen.tcl ..." directly. Clearly we don't need the convenience of #! magic in this particular context.
We may as well have an identical solution for all scripts, including those that do want to be invoked directly on the command line.
