I've tried the chooseDirectory method, but directory creation does not
work (worse, the -mustexist option triggers an exception). So I'd
rather use Tk::DirSelect. 

If chooseDirectory gets fixed, I'll have no problem in dropping
Tk::DirSelect.

ok. No problem.

Oops. I'll try not to forget this one for lib-config-model-tkui.

Thanks
