Maybe I'm mising the point, but I don't see what would be gained by
either of these. Expect uses Tcl/Tk to handle text scripts for
controlling command-line programs. I don't see where a GUI wrapper
would help in either creating scripts or running them. You'd still
have to write the scripts and then hand them off to Tcl/Tk for
execution. Possibly in archiving and retrieving regression tests, but
rev seems a bit of overkill in that department.
