G'day,

is there a particular reason why hamlib has bindings such as tcl and perl 
enabled by default? I believe that it makes hamlib more complex and difficult 
to maintain as a package due to the increase of inter-library dependencies 
and bloads a standard installation unnecessarily.

It doesn't seem to make sense that "./configure --help" reports options 
--with-perl-binding, --with-tcl-binding etc. when it really isn't as they are 
enabled by default. I had to explicitly add configure arguments 
--without-<name>-binding in order to stop building these.

Bindings didn't get build by default in previous version.. Am I missing 
something here?

73, Berndt
