2. Other Caml News

Archive: http://groups.google.com/group/fa.caml/browse_thread/thread/809d4646c7cdea00#

This is a simple implementation of `expect` to help building unitary testing
of interactive program.

It helps to receive question and send answers from an interactive process.
You can match the question using a regular expression (Str). You can also
use a timeout to ensure that the process answer in time.

See the [Expect manual](http://expect.nist.gov/) for more information and
example.

Changes:
* Add a ~fmatch to expect, to dynamically define expect results
* Allow to pass environment and redirect stderr to spawn
* Add `Suffix/`Prefix/`Contains tests
* Separate Str, add Pcre, create findlib packages expect.str and 
 expect.pcre
