I have learned a frightening (to me anyway) amount about expect and TCL
lately; bug me with any questions you may have.

Confused - I thought we'd decided it belonged with GDB, not with
emacs, because of the GDB version dependencies?

I won't try to second-guess you about this code - my LISP sucks.  But
could you explain briefly why you changed from -break-insert to "break"
in some places?  Yet at the same time changed from until to
-exec-until...

Anyway, go ahead and check this in.
