now I understand what you mean!
And (unfortunately) you are right! I wasn't aware about the license of
readline while I introduced this change, so thanks for this hint. But
yes, using here readline support would introduce a needed license change
for the created binaries because of usage of the GPL and no LGPL.

I reverted this part back to use libedit so we are not falling into this
legal trap. An upload will follow shortly.
