(Brain gets out of first gear...) Yes, if I zap the expect built from
the CVS repository I'm going to get the expect in progressive
(For those wondering what progressive is, it is a Red Hat standardized
tested/built version of GCC+BINUTILS+GDB+...)

I think it means that expect has a poorly defined regex syntax and now
it is changing under our feet. Once a an expression is defined it
should just keep working.
