This is kind of a nonsensical arbitrary decision. Moving forward
Erlang's preference is to use wx for GUI frontends (in particular the
debugging and monitoring tools included with the Distribution)
eventually deprecating the old tk based tools. It seems odd that a core
part of a language's distribution is being dropped to support one
application.

If space on the CD is the issue then a more sensible decision would be
to build an embedded Erlang just for CouchDB's use and allow Erlang to
exist as most users would expect. Erlang has been known to compile down
to as much as 4Mb for embedded apps.

Sucks a bit for maintenance though.
