Because tcl is needed in order to MPAB works at first place, since is
half shellscript, half tcl. shellscript has many "gotchas" and might
be difficult to maintain or to other people to contribute. Also, the
code will be smaller with some standards like optparse. Am I missing
something? do you think that MPAB should be in shellscript?

I was not sure if it was third part project. Thanks for the info.

Seems interesting, I'll take a look and might add this to my project
proposal. Thank you.
