I did not realize that actually. It doesn't quite cover what I was
talking about though. I think there should be configure time detection
of readline and a switch to set the path where its installed. It doesn't
look like the readline development comes with anything helpful as far as
m4 detection macros though. Often times the readline development stuff
is not installed on user machines and it can be confusing to get a
compile time error, versus at configure time. ciao
