I looked at the Makefile.  I saw that there are shell variables that collect
C commands, shell command, Perl commands, and Python commands.  There are no
collections of other commands.  That makes them the top languages in the
universe we are concerned about

Please don't waste further time on quibbling.  We all know that gitk is
an uncomfortable special case and that the project would be far better
off, maintainability-wise, if it were successfully ported to one if these
other languages.  Trying to catch me out by triumphantly pointing at gitk 
is...juvenile.
