Some of the Xilinx and Altera tools come with and install Cygwin (and tcl). Watching WINE install Cygwin is good for a chuckle.

The Xilinx tools are all over the map. It looks like some of them were developed in Tcl others in C and C++. Some on *nix others on Windows. It's quite a hodgepodge.

Oh god i never noticed that! Maybe it does not install when running the native linux ISE.

Quartus II does, I just checked. IIRC ISE does it too. Can't check that one for you right now though.
