Currently, we use:

* sh for the configure script. It would be nice to rewrite it in
  python, but nobody is brave enough to do it

* perl for reLyX. reLyX is dying (replaced by C++ tex2lyx) in
  1.4.0cvs. It is even possible to grab a version of tex2lyx usable
  with 1.3.6.

* python for lyx2lyx.

So, we are getting rid of perl, but sh (and the unix utilities it
requires) is still here.
