We already do support libedit; support does not mean "include", for
either readline or libedit.
I think it'd be reasonable to provide a configure option to control
selection of libedit or readline on platforms where both are (or
appear to be) available. I'm not excited about changing the default
behavior, though, especially not on the grounds that "IBM just broke
readline on AIX and therefore we should deprecate readline everywhere",
which appears to be the reasoning offered so far.
