Readline is a GNU library, licensed under the GPL last time I checked, so the
only way I could include it would be if the vlinac as a whole is distributed
under the GPL (I don't have a problem with that, but it's Ned's code so he
gets to decide). Actually strictly speaking since the binaries are built to
dynamically link with readline it probably needs to be GPL anyway.
Note that there are copies of libXm.3.dylib for darwin-x86 and darwin-ppc in
the distribution already, my scripts might not have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
properly to use them though, or maybe they need to do something else for the
Mac to make use of them (advice and patches welcome, I don't have a standalone
machine to test them with).
