Hi, I had a look at the KUTE plugin, and it requires a full install of the tab2mage application. It also requires a make file to be executed for installation, which is awkward for Windows users. I don't think this is a good way of going about things -- a plugin should be just that, it should install into BASE by the default route and not require any third party packages.
It's a shame that they have chosen this route as this will put people off (certainly non-Perl speakers like myself). I also agree with Jari that anything without accessible source code is a non-starter for this project, at the very least for maintenance reasons (my understanding is that KUTE was a PhD project, so it will probably not be getting maintained in the future).
