I'm glad you see it that way.

Overall, it's not trivial, since the overall task
is similar to compiling and installing a comparable
set of the original EPICS client tools:
Decide if you want Probe, (M)EDM, StripTool, ALH, ...,
find suitable versions of Motif/Lesstif/OpenMotif,
then create some top-level launcher
(EDM "Main" page? tcl/tk or python/tk or ...?).

On the upside, once you get a CSS product assembled

for your site, it is quite easy to then "export" that
for Linux, Windows, OS X.
