[companion-integrate] RTI - Update of tclx and expect packages

[Steve Christensen]

Mike -

The webrev

http://companion.sunfreeware.com/downloads/tclxexpectwebrev/

is updated.

I have removed the expect METADATA file.  I fixed pkgdefs/Makefile which
did not need the ctags change.  I added comments in the tcl and tk 
Makefile.sfw files as you indicated.

The tail issue in the sfw integration of expect is something
we will have to investigate independently of this.

Any other comments?
