888	Add GNU readline to extlibs and provided extlibs tarball	Michael Wood-Vasey	eugene	"Here are some simplified instructions for installing GNU readline on  
Mac OS X and other machines that might default to BSD readline, since  
the two readlines have some incompatibilities.  The suggestion here  
is just to add readline to the extlibs and installing it using the  
standard psconfigure etc.  Besides organizational convenience, this  
means that the GNU libreadline will get picked up before the system  
libreadline without any additional manual intervention.

[from the appropriate directory that has 'src/ipp-2.2/']

cd src/extlibs
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/readline/readline-5.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf readline-5.1.tar.gz
cd readline-5.1
psconfigure
make
make install

So my suggestion is to add the package available at

http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/readline/readline-5.1.tar.gz

to the extlibs tarball and add in the instructions for people to  
install this if needed."	defect	closed	high		Ohana	unspecified	normal	fixed
