I am happening to develop on some machines on which I have no
X-Windows or any GUI providers at all, so I prefer not to have the
Tcl/Tk dependency at all.
If you don't do something, it is often interesting to state why: if you 
don't install something to prevent a dependency you don't want to have, it 
is different from saying that you do not want to have a GUI, _even if_ the 
dependency is there already.
I read his message as "these are useless for me, so why introduce a
useless dependency?"  The "effect" is to have no Tcl dependence,
but the original reason is to have no GUI.

So, "If you don't do something, it is often interesting to state why".
Why no TCL (in git)?  Because no X11 (on the machine).
