in short: better not use readline ;)
It will load if it's present, but we'll work fine if it isn't. And that's assuming you're using the native binding, possibly installed as a gem.
Besides that... what are the issue you have with jline that caused you to fork it? We are using that as well, so I am interested to know.
We've submitted several patches, some of which have been included and some not. In general, though, it's the slow pace of development and the difficulty of getting a release pushed out that led me to clone it to github.
The latest issue was the behavior of Ctrl-D for line editing: it would quit the process if nothing was in the buffer, but otherwise did nothing. It should also delete the character under the cursor, if any. I could find no way to wire this behavior up from the outside, and a patch was necessary. I submitted a patch on sf.net, posted it and a dev build of jline to the bug, and cloned to github so I could apply my patch there.
