# Tcl/Tk frontend for TeX Live installer

# Installation can be divided into three stages:
#
# 1. preliminaries. This stage may involve some interaction with the user,
#    which can be channeled through message boxes
# 2. a menu
# 3. the actual installation
#
# During stage 1. and 3. this wrapper collects stdout and stderr from
# the perl installer, with stderr being redirected to stdout.
# This output will be displayed in a text widget during stage 3,
# and in debug mode also in stage 1.
# During stage 3, we shall use event-driven, non-blocking I/O, which is
# needed for a scrolling display of installer output.
#
# Main window:
# filled successively with:
# - a logo, and 'loading...' label, by way of splash
# - a menu for stage 2
# - a log text widget for tracking stage 3
#   ::out_log should be cleared before stage 3.
#
# In profile mode, the menu stage is skipped.
