We could improve life for everyone even more if we built Tcl/Tk once per update and made it a binary dependency. Nobody is updating our version of it regularly anyway, and this would significantly improve build time in CI.

I'm pretty sure the *nix builds already default to using the system Tcl/Tk, so figuring out a way to do something similar on Windows (and then bundling the DLLs in the installer) would make sense to me.

Cheers, Nick.
