I tend to agree with this, and have a working implementation of it:
http://repo.or.cz/w/openocd/ntfreak.git/shortlog/refs/heads/jimtcl

The build system in jim will need updating as its a bit of a hack but 
can be made to work.

As a side not the current "make install" will not install to the correct 
dirs, so using AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS solves all this.
