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?)
