Honestly, this is so important that I'd rather have it in the core so
it works for any user, without bugging them about updating their
config setup or having to think at all. If they have requested
readline support, then it should just work. We already have
platform-specific code to work around a things in Windows, having a
little bit of Leopard support doesn't bother me one bit.
Have a look at the attached patch, and if something like that works
well, we can easily just drop it in.
Cheers,
