PHP Bug Type:     Compile Failure
Bug description:  Compiling with libedit cannot find readline.h

Description:
------------
The PHP code assumes that even with libedit in use (instead of readline),
that the header can be found in readline/readline.h.

libedit installs its "readline.h" into editline/ (to avoid the obvious
conflict with readline).

Accordingly, configure claims that libedit is not properly installed, when
it is. I've written a straightforward patch to fix this:

http://spot.fedorapeople.org/php-5.3.0-libedit.patch

It is also possible to use pkgconfig to ask libedit for its include flags
(and cflags), which would return "-I/usr/include/editline", but as that was
slightly more intrusive, I did not go down that road.

In addition, on a system where readline-devel and libedit-devel are both
installed, the existing code checking for /usr/include/readline-devel will
cause a false positive when checking for libedit, and will end up doing a
compile with readline's headers and libedit's library.

Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure --without-readline --with-libedit


Expected result:
----------------
checking for libedit readline replacement... yes
checking for readline in -ledit... yes


Actual result:
--------------
checking for libedit readline replacement... yes
configure: error: Please reinstall libedit - I cannot find readline.h
