Open source Tcl/Tk 8.4.15 from www.tcl.tk works fine in MSYS, if configured to install in /usr/local (or whatever place except /usr).
This lets me run the GRASS start-up screen and gis.m just fine. As expected, d.mon does not work (no X) and NVIZ just crashes badly. So no need to ActiveTcl anymore, as far as I can tell.
