Your suggestion above is the clear winner.  It puts look-and-feel
policy in the Tcl code layer (where it can be augmented, overridden,
etc).

It 

   1) makes it easy for Tk programmers porting their X11-based
      programs on Windows.

   2) gives Tk programmers on Windows access to numeric keypad 
      keys (in the standard X11 fashion).

   3) is backward compatible with any existing Windows-based Tk 
      program.
