I searched my build-target sources for readline's example inputrc: Inputrc, and 
found that both bash and gdb use readline, but provide their own readline 
source tree:

$ find . -name Inputrc
./bash-3.2.48/lib/readline/examples/Inputrc
./gdb-6.8/readline/examples/Inputrc
./readline-5.2/examples/Inputrc

I had always thought that bash and gdb used libreadline, but I guess if they 
provide their own readline source tree within their own source tree, then they 
don't necessarily have a dependency with the readline project itself.
