The challenge is to produce a pretty-good-expect that is easily portable, 
no dependencies on anything except the standard library, small (a few 
hundred lines of code, maximum), and very easy to configure.  In other 
words, trouble-free for the boost developers who are the users.

A simple file comparison program would often meet those needs, but wouldn't 
do for "expect value less than" etc.

Maybe someone familiar with dejagnu could comment.  Is there a subset that 
would suit boost's needs?
