Since version 1.2 usb_modeswitch supports building without TCL but with dev-lang/libjim instead, see README file: 1. If you have the "Tcl" scripting language available on your system (packages "tcl" or "jimsh"), use the light-weight installation: # make install 2. If you are size-constrained and have the Jimsh library on your system (package "libjim-dev"), you can have the Tcl interpreter embedded with the dispatcher, using its shared lib: # make install-shared

reopen for revaluation as it appears the script can be compiled into a binary using this thing called jimtcl it has bundled (can use system copy too?)
