I think these are the problem.  In Windows you should only need to
edit the MkRules file to change these lines:

# Where does Tcl/Tk live? Spaces allowed.
TCL_HOME = $(RHOME)/Tcl
TCL_VERSION = 84

The section I think you were reading where you found TCLTK_CPPFLAGS
was specific to using the configure utility in Unix.
