My point (and I think it's the same point as Jakub's) is that NO_GUI is a misnomer. It should be NO_TCL, since the only reason you state to skip installation of these parts is that they depend on X11, which is not installed on the machine. If you don't do something, it is often interesting to state why: if you don't install something to prevent a dependency you don't want to have, it is different from saying that you do not want to have a GUI, _even if_ the dependency is there already. Conclusion: I am in favour of NO_TCL, but not of NO_GUI.
