Log Message:
-----------
As expected, the fbserv use of Tcl is the last non-backend piece in the
libdm/libfb stack. Will also be a thorny one - we're relying on Tcl channels
on Windows to successfully do the async raytracing to the MGED/Archer display
windows, if I recall correctly - that's a key feature which has to be kept
working.

+ * TODO - other than the backends themselves (which are now plugins
+ * and so relatively independent) fbserv is the last piece of the
+ * libdm/libfb stack making core use of Tcl. Unlike the dm_obj,
+ * fb_obj and tcl files the use of Tcl here is an implmeentation
+ * detail of the functional purpose of the file rather than the
+ * primary purpose of the code, and as such this belongs in
+ * libdm rather than libtclcad. That means we need to find a way
+ * to achieve the functionality present here without relying on
+ * Tcl/Tk - either by embedding the necessary logic in libbu (as
+ * was done with Tcl list parsing) or replacing the functionality
+ * with something that achieves the same goal. Will have to see
+ * if there are any implicit requirements for the Tcl communication
+ * in calling codes as well.
