Unless they want to use third party add-ons that are not, and are not likely to be in tcl... for example, Gallery is a fantastic php based image gallery... I would MUCH rather swap that in and let it go than write something as comprehensive from scratch... which I have done on one of my sites, but not all the features are supported since aolserver isn't 100% compatible with how apache does some things.. or more specifically how some apache modules do some things..
