Mo is one person who's working on it, yes.  Syd Polk is another.

Most (all?) of the stuff that Ian added to try to get dejagnu working with
tcl/tk are no longer required so hopefully that's good news.

What is required are DJ's minor changes to build a separate static cygwin
version of tcl for use with expect.

I've Cc'ed Syd and Mo in this message so that they'll be aware that you are
contemplating working on tcl 8.3.x.
