Curious if there is a reason why 'expect', a command line utility, is being built with gui flags.

For now, I am recompiling on my own, without said flags.
This task depends upon

It's built with GUI flags because of expectk, the version if expect with tk support.

Admittedly, I'm not sure if anyone uses expectk. Is the dependency a big problem for you? It may turn out that it's difficult to separate into 2 packages.

Not really, I guess. If it is problematic to package it seperately, then I can just continue building it myself with ABS.

Okay, so we'll leave it up to Jason to decide if it's hard or undesireable to split. If he decides it's okay to split, then we can take a crack at that process.

The makefile is utter garbage but the package has been split up. Still testing but should be uploaded soon.
