Interesting, given that OCaml presumes that Cygwin's tcl/tk is Win32
(which it currently is), but Ports' X11 tcl/tk works with OCaml with
some patches:

Given the recent issues on the list, I think it's about time I ITA
tcl/tk.

I have a flexdll package in Ports which includes several patches
necessary for Cygwin, which I used to build OCaml with dynlink support:

I will be busy for the remainder of the week, but let's work on this
further next week.
