Hi,

no, I'm not planning to develop a solution without the dependency of 
autodocktools.
The plugin is just a tool to use autodock and vina from within a pymol 
session. The Autodocktools are used for receptor and ligand preparation which 
is an essential part of a docking protocol, equally important to scoring 
functions and the docking algorithm itself. If a ligand is not correctly 
prepared (e.g., incorrect assignment of rotatable bonds, protonation state) 
you will never end ab with the correct result.
Hence, this is a quite sophisticated functionality that cannot be replaced 
with a few lines of additional code and I'm therefore not putting any effort 
in this direction. 

Cheers,
Daniel
