tclsh dependency

[probonopd]

On openSUSE LEAP 42.2, I get:

git clone https://github.com/lvml/makeaoi
cd makeaoi
make
(...)
makeaoi created, it can be run stand-alone, without requiring the makeaoi_aux directory.
(...)
linux@linux:~/makeaoi> ./makeaoi
bash: ./makeaoi: /usr/bin/tclsh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

The documentation mentions that tclsh is needed, "which should be provided by most distributions anyway". At least in the default installation it is usually not. Can this dependency be dropped? Why is it needed?

OK, I see, it's all written in tclsh... in this case, could we make an AppImage that contains tclsh?
