It looks like you have a work around by building against libedit, but linking 
to against libreadline.  I think this is a big improvement against everything 
being broken, but a really _HORRIBLE_ ingenious solution :)

Could we not go back to building against libreadline and reopen  the licencing 
bug as not yet resolved.

The issue has now been raised across the community and I do not think any other 
distribution has dropped building against libreadline.  There is now a work 
around that can be implemented quickly in case libreadline becomes a serious 
legal issue.

However, it think from a maintenance point of view, building against a broken 
lib and linking to another on the fly is really confusing, and it would be good 
to verify if the licencing issue is real.
