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.

Yep, you're right. That was I meant originally. How do you feel
about NO_GUI or NO_TCL names?

That'd be NO_TCL_TK. TCL has nothing to do with graphics.
And you have one more supporter for NO_GUI (my server has no
usable graphics, will never have and runs cron jobs with git in them).
