I hate YAML.

Of course, Cygwin doesn't install a working build environment by default...
Switch to using cygwin; apparently that's expected for our GCC-on-Win builds

-1. Introduction
---------------
-Tcl provides a powerful platform for creating integration applications that
-tie together diverse applications, protocols, devices, and frameworks.
-When paired with the Tk toolkit, Tcl provides the fastest and most powerful
-way to create GUI applications that run on PCs, Unix, and Mac OS X.
-Tcl can also be used for a variety of web-related tasks and for creating
-powerful command languages for applications.
-
-Tcl is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the Tcl community.
-Source code development and tracking of bug reports and feature requests
-takes place at:
-
-	http://core.tcl.tk/
-
-Tcl/Tk release and mailing list services are hosted by SourceForge:
-
-	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
-
-with the Tcl Developer Xchange hosted at:
-
-	http://www.tcl.tk/
-
-Tcl is a freely available open source package.  You can do virtually
-anything you like with it, such as modifying it, redistributing it,
-and selling it either in whole or in part.  See the file
-"license.terms" for complete information.
-
-2. Documentation

-
-Extensive documentation is available at our website.
-The home page for this release, including new features, is
-	http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/9.0.html
-
-Detailed release notes can be found at the file distributions page
-by clicking on the relevant version.
-	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/

-visit the URL:
-	http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl9.0/
-
-2a. Unix Documentation
----------------------
-
-The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of
-reference manual entries for Tcl.  Files with extension ".1" are for
-programs (for example, tclsh.1); files with extension ".3" are for C
-library procedures; and files with extension ".n" describe Tcl
-commands.  The file "doc/Tcl.n" gives a quick summary of the Tcl
-language syntax.  To print any of the man pages on Unix, cd to the
-"doc" directory and invoke your favorite variant of troff using the
-normal -man macros, for example
-
-		ditroff -man Tcl.n
-
-to print Tcl.n.  If Tcl has been installed correctly and your "man" program
-supports it, you should be able to access the Tcl manual entries using the
-normal "man" mechanisms, such as
-
-		man Tcl
-
-2b. Windows Documentation
-------------------------
-
-The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of Windows
-help files for Tcl.  Once you install this Tcl release, a shortcut to the
-Windows help Tcl documentation will appear in the "Start" menu:
-
-	Start | Programs | Tcl | Tcl Help
-
-3. Compiling and installing Tcl
-------------------------------
-
-There are brief notes in the unix/README, win/README, and macosx/README about
-compiling on these different platforms.  There is additional information
-about building Tcl from sources at
-
-	http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/compile.html
-
-4. Development tools
---------------------------
-
-ActiveState produces a high quality set of commercial quality development
-tools that is available to accelerate your Tcl application development.
-Tcl Dev Kit builds on the earlier TclPro toolset and provides a debugger,
-static code checker, single-file wrapping utility, bytecode compiler and
-more.  More information can be found at
-
-	http://www.ActiveState.com/Tcl
-
-5. Tcl newsgroup
----------------
-
-There is a USENET news group, "comp.lang.tcl", intended for the exchange of
-information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications.  The newsgroup is a
-great place to ask general information questions.  For bug reports, please
-see the "Support and bug fixes" section below.
-
-6. Tcl'ers Wiki
---------------
-
-A Wiki-based open community site covering all aspects of Tcl/Tk is at:
-
-	http://wiki.tcl.tk/
-
-It is dedicated to the Tcl programming language and its extensions.  A
-wealth of useful information can be found there.  It contains code
-snippets, references to papers, books, and FAQs, as well as pointers to
-development tools, extensions, and applications.  You can also recommend
-additional URLs by editing the wiki yourself.
-
-7. Mailing lists
----------------
-
-Several mailing lists are hosted at SourceForge to discuss development or
-use issues (like Macintosh and Windows topics).  For more information and
-to subscribe, visit:
-
-	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
-
-and go to the Mailing Lists page.
-
-8. Support and Training
------------------------
-
-We are very interested in receiving bug reports, patches, and suggestions
-for improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to us as
-tickets entered into our tracker at:
-
-	http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/reportlist
-
-We will log and follow-up on each bug, although we cannot promise a
-specific turn-around time.  Enhancements may take longer and may not happen
-at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're trying to
-slow the rate at which Tcl/Tk turns into a kitchen sink).  It's very
-difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl/Tk at this point, due to
-the size of the installed base.
-
-The Tcl community is too large for us to provide much individual support
-for users.  If you need help we suggest that you post questions to
-comp.lang.tcl.  We read the newsgroup and will attempt to answer esoteric
-questions for which no one else is likely to know the answer.  In addition,
-see the following Web site for links to other organizations that offer
-Tcl/Tk training:
-
-	http://wiki.tcl.tk/training
-
-9. Tracking Development
-----------------------
-
-Tcl is developed in public.  To keep an eye on how Tcl is changing, see
-	http://core.tcl.tk/
-
-10. Thank You
-------------
-
-We'd like to express our thanks to the Tcl community for all the
-helpful suggestions, bug reports, and patches we have received.
-Tcl/Tk has improved vastly and will continue to do so with your help.

+## <a id="support">8.</a> Support and Training
+We are very interested in receiving bug reports, patches, and suggestions for
+improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to us as tickets
+entered into [our issue tracker](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/reportlist).
+
+We will log and follow-up on each bug, although we cannot promise a
+specific turn-around time.  Enhancements may take longer and may not happen
+at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're trying to
+slow the rate at which Tcl/Tk turns into a kitchen sink).  It's very
+difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl/Tk at this point, due to
+the size of the installed base.
+
+The Tcl community is too large for us to provide much individual support for
+users.  If you need help we suggest that you post questions to `comp.lang.tcl`
+or ask a question on [Stack
+Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/tcl).  We read the
+newsgroup and will attempt to answer esoteric questions for which no one else
+is likely to know the answer.  In addition, see the wiki for [links to other
+organizations](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/training) that offer Tcl/Tk training.
+
+## <a id="watch">9.</a> Tracking Development
+Tcl is developed in public.  You can keep an eye on how Tcl is changing at
+[core.tcl-lang.org](https://core.tcl-lang.org/).
+
+## <a id="thanks">10.</a> Thank You
+We'd like to express our thanks to the Tcl community for all the
+helpful suggestions, bug reports, and patches we have received.
+Tcl/Tk has improved vastly and will continue to do so with your help.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
+expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.
+These functions are represented by commands in the namespace,
+\fBtcl::mathfunc\fR.  The \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR function is
+an obsolete way for applications to add additional functions
+to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.
+It should not be used by new applications, which should create
+math functions using \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR to create a command
+in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace.
+.PP
+In the \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR interface,
+\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
+If \fIname\fR does not already exist in the \fB::tcl::mathfunc\fR
+namespace, then a new command is created in that namespace.
+If \fIname\fR does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
+\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
+Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be
+one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR, \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR,
+or \fBTCL_EITHER\fR to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
+integer, a double-precision floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer,
+or any, respectively.
+.PP
+Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
+\fIproc\fR.  \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
+the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int \fBTcl_MathProc\fR(
+        ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+        Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+        Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
+        Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
+arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
+\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
+which describe the actual arguments to the function:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_Value {
+    Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
+    long \fIintValue\fR;
+    double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
+    Tcl_WideInt \fIwideValue\fR;
+} \fBTcl_Value\fR;
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
+one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR.
+It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
+the \fIargTypes\fR value was \fBTCL_EITHER\fR. Tcl converts
+the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
+\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
+Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR,
+\fIdoubleValue\fR or \fIwideValue\fR
+field will contain the actual value of the argument.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
+in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
+\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
+It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to one of
+\fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR
+to indicate which value was set.
+Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
+return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
+function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
+\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call.  Normally, the return code is
+\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
+result.
+.PP
+If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
+pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
+released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR.  Some functions (the
+standard set implemented in the core, and those defined by placing
+commands in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace) do not have
+argument type information; attempting to retrieve values for
+them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable pointed to by
+\fIprocPtr\fR and the variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR
+will not be modified.  The variable pointed to by \fInumArgsPointer\fR
+will contain -1, and no argument types will be stored in the variable
+pointed to by \fIargTypesPointer\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl value containing a list of all
+the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
+\fIpattern\fR.  The returned value has a reference count of zero.

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
-These routines save the state of an interpreter before a call to a routine such
-as \fBTcl_Eval\fR, and restore the state afterwards.
+These routines allows a C procedure to take a snapshot of the current
+state of an interpreter so that it can be restored after a call
+to \fBTcl_Eval\fR or some other routine that modifies the interpreter
+state.  There are two triplets of routines meant to work together.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR saves the parts of \fIinterp\fR that comprise the
-result of a script, including the resulting value, the return code passed as
-\fIstatus\fR, and any options such as \fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR.
-It returns a token for the saved state.  The interpreter result is not reset
-and no interpreter state is changed.
+The first triplet stores the snapshot of interpreter state in
+an opaque token returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR.  That token
+value may then be passed back to one of \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR
+or \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR, depending on whether the interp
+state is to be restored.  So long as one of the latter two routines
+is called, Tcl will take care of memory management.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR restores the state indicated by \fIstate\fR and
-returns the \fIstatus\fR originally passed in the corresponding call to
-\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR.
+The second triplet stores the snapshot of only the interpreter
+result (not its complete state) in memory allocated by the caller.
+These routines are passed a pointer to \fBTcl_SavedResult\fR
+that is used to store enough information to restore the interpreter result.
+\fBTcl_SavedResult\fR can be allocated on the stack of the calling
+procedure.  These routines do not save the state of any error
+information in the interpreter (e.g. the \fB\-errorcode\fR or
+\fB\-errorinfo\fR return options, when an error is in progress).
 .PP
-If a saved state is not restored, \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR must be called
-to release it.  A token used to discard or restore state must not be used
-again.
+Because the routines \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR,
+\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR perform
+a superset of the functions provided by the other routines,
+any new code should only make use of the more powerful routines.
+The older, weaker routines \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR,
+and \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR continue to exist only for the sake
+of existing programs that may already be using them.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR are
-deprecated.  Instead use \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR,
-\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR, which are more
-capable.
+\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR takes a snapshot of those portions of
+interpreter state that make up the full result of script evaluation.
+This include the interpreter result, the return code (passed in
+as the \fIstatus\fR argument, and any return options, including
+\fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR when an error is in progress.
+This snapshot is returned as an opaque token of type \fBTcl_InterpState\fR.
+The call to \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR does not itself change the
+state of the interpreter.  Unlike \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, it does
+not reset the interpreter.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR moves the result of \fIinterp\fR to the location
-\fIstatePtr\fR points to and returns the interpreter result to its initial
-state.  It does not save options such as \fB\-errorcode\fR or
-\fB\-errorinfo\fR.
+\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR accepts a \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token
+previously returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR and restores the
+state of the interp to the state held in that snapshot.  The return
+value of \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR is the status value originally
+passed to \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR when the snapshot token was
+created.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR clears any existing result or error in \fIinterp\fR and
-moves the result from \fIstatePtr\fR back to \fIinterp\fR.  \fIstatePtr\fR is
-then in an undefined state and must not be used until passed again to
+\fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR is called to release a \fBTcl_InterpState\fR
+token previously returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR when that
+snapshot is not to be restored to an interp.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR
+must eventually be passed to either \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR
+or \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR to avoid a memory leak.  Once
+the \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token is passed to one of them, the
+token is no longer valid and should not be used anymore.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR moves the string and value results
+of \fIinterp\fR into the location specified by \fIstatePtr\fR.
+\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR clears the result for \fIinterp\fR and
+leaves the result in its normal empty initialized state.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR moves the string and value results from
+\fIstatePtr\fR back into \fIinterp\fR.  Any result or error that was
+already in the interpreter will be cleared.  The \fIstatePtr\fR is left
+in an uninitialized state and cannot be used until another call to
 \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR releases the state stored at \fBstatePtr\fR, which is
-then in an undefined state and must not be used until passed again to
+\fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR releases the saved interpreter state
+stored at \fBstatePtr\fR.  The state structure is left in an
+uninitialized state and cannot be used until another call to

 .PP
-If a saved result is not restored, \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR must be called to
-release it.
+Once \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR is called to save the interpreter
+result, either \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR or
