yep, I actually meant to rename the file before I made the archive but got a
bit distracted by the joy of it finally working.

As for the mingw prefixed dlls this appears to be how things were done with
the 8.0.3 version of tcl used here. I had some patches donated which were
based on 5.2.1 with the reverted tcl as used to build the Cygwin version at
the time when there were problems with 8.3.

I'm currently trying to figure out how to build and install tcl separately
from gdb which should make things a bit easier to port the changes forward.
Once I've brought the tcl back up to 8.4 the prefixes should vanish again.
