* pexpect-2.1 is shockingly slow for Sage (especially in the notebook)
and I can't figure out why. So we're sticking with pexpect-2.0 for
now (which works fine for us).
Patches:
* del.patch: put a try/except inside __del__, to get rid of lots of
pointless warning messages
* pexpect.py-isdir_bug_fix.patch: fixed bug in pexpect.py where it
tried to run directories
* env.patch: add env parameter to spawn.__init__() to run a command
with custom environment variables (as in pexpect-2.3).
