 Here's what I've got in my test bed.
 
 First my test bed is native i686-pc-linux-gnu, so it's limited.
 
 I test with the official release versions:
 
   tcl 8.4.3
   expect 5.38
   dejagnu 1.4.3
 
 In January 2003, I compared this T+E+D stack with the T+E+D stack
 from sourceware cvs.  They compared fine, no significant differences.
 
 I am upgrading to expect 5.39 soon.  When I do the upgrade I will
 also compare against sourceware T+E+D again and report back.
 
 I would rather do this in the winter, when I have to pay for heat
 anyways, but what the heck.  :)
 
 I diff'ed expect 5.38 versus expect 5.39.  There are some innocuous
 bug fixes, including a 64-bit bug fix.  So at least one person is
 using expect on at least one 64-bit system (PA-RISC 2.0 with
 --enable-64bit).  There is nothing that says "haha, we are going
 to break a bunch of syntax and screw dejagnu users".
 
 So I'm feeling pretty good about upgrading my test bed, and I think
 it will be okay to upgrade sourceware as well.
 
 BTW the vintages on everything in sourceware are:
 
   tcl      8.4.1       # current is 8.4.3
   expect   1998-06-15  # damn!
   dejagnu  1.4.3       # current is 1.4.3

 Will need to merge in changes that get expect/ to link against 
 ../tcl/unix/libtcl*.a instead of the installed tcl.

 I just updated my test bed from expect 5.38 to expect 5.39.
 Testing with 78 configurations showed no significant differences.
 I'll use 5.39 for a spin or two, and then compare with
 the current sourceware tcl+expect+dejagnu.
