Thank you -- very much.

I'm feeling a bit foolish about this.  I used expect and autoexpect extensively
in my PhD research without ever noticing that autoexpect was a script, and
could be simply copied from one place to another.  It just happened to be
in the searchpath by default on the distros (RedHat, mostly) that I was using.

I have a suggestion for the packagers: make it so.  Where would I put this
comment to make it an official request for a feature?

Thanks again.
