    This is a simple expression evaluator, supporting user supplied variables.

    It works on longs, but a floating point version would be easy enough to
    generate from this.

   If expand_var is not NULL then unrecognised strings of characters
   (basically anything that gives strtol() problems) are passed to that
   to expand the value.  The return of this routine should be TRUE if the
   value was expanded into value.  The client_data pointer is passed to
   expand_var().
