Just in case you're expecting an answer from me -- I implemented or oversaw
the implementation of the full cygwin port of expect for cygwin.  I surely
don't want to worry about how to implement this outside of cygwin.

Other than that, I can't see how this is a discussion for either the cygwin
or the insight mailing lists.  The fact that Insight uses tcl doesn't mean
that you can use it as a basis for a pure windows port.

AFAIK and FWIW, expect has a native windows port these days.

Anyway, you will undoubtedly have more luck in a windows forum, possibly
a mingw forum: www.mingw.org .
