Michael,
we can look at these issues during our visit at ASU later this month - Vasek has done quite a bit of work on this and can give you an overview on what the best approach would be - see here abstract of his talk at FOSS4G NA

You only need all those dependencies if need all the PDAL plugins, core
PDAL only requires GDAL, the other dependencies are optional.
The pdal Debian package only enables the plugins for which the
dependencies are available (greyhound, icebridge, python & sqlite). The
PCL plugin pulls in the enormous and problematic VTK dependency chain
and has been disabled in the Debian package despite the dependencies
being available.

Nice slides. As it stands now, PDAL without PCL is probably a reasonable replacement for libLAS. However, it could also be nice to have access to the PDAL/PCL ground module. So we need to look at what it would take to compile PDAL with and without ground.
I hope we can also talk about 64 bit wxPython 3 implementations and how to get past the Mac OS X 10.11 SIP problem.
