Sounds cool.  Go for it.

You cannot use the Rotor version directly, of course.  But if you build your 
own Tcl/Tk binding from scratch, using your own ingenuity, then there is no 
problem.

There is some Tcl/Tk code in Rotor, but it doesn't add up to much more than 
600 lines.  It appears to be just a sample and not a full serious binding.  
But I'm no Tcl/Tk programmer.  Maybe 600 lines is all you need? :-)
