Having external Jim TCL is not so bad, but if we still want more and 
more users / developpers for the openocd projects, we have to make sure 
the compile step stays as easy as possible on Windows as on Linux and 
Mac ! This is not the case for the actual external Jim TCL .

As I know, the major part of the OpenOCD users build their release 
themself (they do not use any pre-build openocd binary file) And this is 
really nice in the way to have more users close to the code ... You know 
what I mean. More users / more developers / more activity / more success ...
