Actually, it's not that bad. The Expect lib doesn't actually use any
Tcl functions. It just uses things like the regexp code. (It seemed
silly to link in a 2nd identical-except-in-name pattern matcher!)
Since Python has its own regexp, you just have to add a few stubs to
get the Tcl funcs to call into Python's. Then you don't need the -ltcl.
