I was afraid you were going to ask about that next :-(

Truth is, I've never built it on Windows.  You can try:

    sh configure --with-expat=/some/path

where /some/path is the directory containing the expat
archive library.  But that probably won't work either,
there's other stuff that needs to be ported.

Also: cygwin might not work very well for compiling
Tcl extensions.  AFAIK, mingw and MSVC are the
currently-recommended compilers.

Let me get back to you in a few days...  This may be a case 
of "edit the Makefile by hand..."
