You should really fix these packages that (I assume) aren't using
tclConfig.sh so that they do use it. Your proposed change would break
packages that have been hard coded to do the right thing (but in the
wrong way as not via tclConfig.sh). In the end provided
/mingw{32,64}/lib/tclConfig.sh doesn't lie, I'm not *too* bothered
though. Please make a separate, initial pull request for the second
part (debug build when 'debug' option is enabled) as that should be
uncontroversial.
