 I was a bit split about leaving the pexpect interface stuff in or throwing
 it out completely. Singular supports some of its ideal operations over the
 complex numbers, although they probably don't make much sense there
 (rounding errors, 0 != 0 etc.). libSingular does not support complex
 numbers yet (although it is implemented in #7577 and waits for input on a
 design decision) and thus theoretical we are loosing some functionality.
 Then again, we are loosing functionality which does not really make much
 sense (e.g. you want to be careful about computing a Gröbner basis to get
 the variety of an ideal over CC) This is why I only half hearted removed
 the pexpect stuff (which supports CC).
