No, I just do not see the point in replacing a working script with
another working script. Though I understand your concerns about the
build dependencies. OTOH, having Perl on a build machine seems to be
quite common nowadays (as having AWK).  And if I recall well, that
"issue" was about the *build* deps.

Personally I do not care for *this* project, as I'm not involved.
