 Replying to [ticket:32246 ryandesign@…]:
 > fossil links with readline but does not declare a dependency on it.

 Thanks for your patch. I made readline support an optional variant in
 r87561. It is only used in the 'fossil sqlite3'
 command which starts an sqlite command-line shell on the repository
 database. This is potential dangerous command which
 could corrupt the repository if not used carefully. It is mainly for
 debugging purposes, ommitting readline support for
 the sqllite command-line shell should not affect normal users.
 Additionally, if not linked against readline, it allows fossil to be
 binary distributable, avoiding the openssl/gpl conflict.
