Well, I know that and I'd like to keep it underlinked in order to make it possible to link with libtlc8.5 or libtcl8.6 for application which use it. The libtcl ABI is sufficiently stable and I don't want to restrict libexpect to any particular version of libtcl. The libexpect manual explicitly says that any application using libexpect has to be linked with it and with libtcl. If there's another reason why it shouldn't be underlinked I'd be glad to hear it.
