The real problem with the changes to bash and moving libreadline to /lib
(BTW, bash requires libhistory, too) is that bash prior to 2.04-4mdk had
both libreadline and libhistory as static links and at leat one person
pointed out that this was a good thing.  You could always get bash going
before this change was made.

Instead of really looking at the porblem we got a reaction to the
symptom and someone moved readline to /lib. The problem was not with
readline but with bash.  Now we find that moving readline to /lib causes
other problems.

please -- a little attention to detail here. Bash needs to be fixed not
readline.
