pcretest is not normally linked with -lreadline statically.

It will not help those who link libreadline with other terminfo providers like
-ltinfo.
A portable way to implement this check would be actually attempting -lreadline
linking, and, if that fails, try to link -lreadline along with other terminfo
provideres.
