Beeh... ugly! :-)

I chose "Expect" because it's a name of a "famous" TCL library on unix 
that aims at doing the same thing.

And you are never sure that the running process will actually emit the 
expected prompt. :-)

I'm currently thinking of extending the Process class instead of using a 
new class. The only thing that bothers me is that it will add new 
private fields to the Process class that may be useless to the uses of 
'gb.util'.
