Short feedback (being a win-dummy).

- i installed win7 in a vbox

- downloaded mingw+msys via
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20120426/
   (the most popular one, newer than what you wrote)

- set up the environment variable to contain path to
mingw/bin and msys/bin

- started a console, but had to write "bash kbs.tcl ..."
instead of "./kbs.tcl ..."
   (maybe one one setup required)

- got an error that wget is not installed;
   installed wget, added GnuWin32/bin to the path

The compilation of tcl ran into the following problem (the
fetched tcl version is 8.5.11).
Does one have to install the "20110211" version of mingw? is
there a configure problem
on win7?
