Re: enable GNU readline by default?

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

As a side note: an autoconf'd version of libedit is available at
http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/

It has a BSD style license and is actively maintained. The last
time I tried (~1yr ago) it required very little work to replace
GNU readline in gnuplot.
Right now I do not have the time to work on it though.
