 `readline` might need it.

 No, a few other packages like PARI use it.  If readline would use it, we
 should also build a shared library (which the package as is doesn't
 offer), and, more importantly, use ''that'' termcap library's headers
 (`-I$SAGE_LOCAL/include`).

 But somebody meanwhile messed up the dependencies in `spkg/standard/deps`
 as if readline would depend on (Sage's) termcap.

 In principle we could drop the spkg, since there are [newer] replacements
 on every supported system AFAIK.

 One more thing: ''Chang'''e'''log'' lacks an ''"e"'' in `SPKG.txt`.

 I'd rename `Makefile.patch` to `Makefile.in.patch` to avoid confusion.
