Yeah, I think I even made a rough stab at this about 5 years ago in
TCL - I got libdisk and libdialog "wrapped" for TCL access and a small
main function written which brought up the first couple of sysinstall
menus, but I rapidly ran out of time for it and was already
creeped-out enough by libdialog that I didn't have the heart to pursue
it using that particular UI solution.  When can we see your own
prototype, since you raised the topic last? :-)
