 GNU readline is licensed under GPL-3+, whereas libedit is BSD. Using
 libedit will therefore make the binary distribution situation easier. This
 is actually the default configuration on OS X for upstream anyway, as
 Apple's libreadline is a link to libedit.

 Should just be a matter of patching the configure script to change
 -lreadline to -ledit and readline/readline.h to editline/readline.h.
