Description
The vdemo with the --fifo option uses a fifo and a text file for the responses.
vdemo responds to commands and write the result to the text file.
However, this interface does not ensure that a given response originated from the calling script.
The socket
command provides a way to avoid these issues.

- vdemo can now be run from python3's tkinter context. I integrated text based remote control based on pythons HTTPServer.
- Further work such as html / authentication / https features are now easy to implement.
- The python3 integration is still optional at the moment.
- In the long run it will be possible to move the tcl codebase slowly to python.
