   Huh? It is something new for me (maintainer). What is "recommended"
method?
  You need slqite3, it is not-optional dependency. sqlite3 need tcl to
be built. Use binary package for sqlite3 and you will not need tcl.

  Please, blame sqlite3 for tcl. sqlite3 could be build without it
easily, and I don't understand, why sqlite3 maintainer uses it
unconditionally. Yes, it gives SLIGHTLY more optimal resulting code,
but, IMHO, tcl is too high price for it in most cases.
