larger issue (Re: Linux install misses Tk)

[Platibus <platibus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Half a year ago I asked Bharat why he hadn't written Pilotmanager in Java. The main
reason was the support for the serial port. I haven't looked at the pilotmanager
sources in a while, but given the problems people report with with software package
dependencies (Tcl, Perl, CDE), wouldn't it be worth to take a deep breath and port
the whole thing to Java? That would settle it once and for all. Just a thought. I'd
be willing to contribute, but I don't know Perl that well.
