Just install Tcl/Tk yourself. It works. (see

Uptate flexlink (see https://github.com/protz/ocaml-installer/issues/22)
Just copying flexdll_mingw.o, flexlink.exe and flexdll_initer_mingw.o 
from the last binary zip distributed by Alain Frish is enough 
(http://alain.frisch.fr/flexdll.html)

Well. I would say it is a little outdated. It should just be slightly 
adapted and recompiled.
