Distributing the readline library legally would require me to find and make 
available a copy of the source code used to build that exact version of 
readline, as well as to license the vlinac under the GPL, which as I have said 
before isn't my call since it's not my code.

The existing package copies the necessary libraries from the common Base 
builds here at APS, which are configured to use readline on Darwin and Linux.  
Eliminating readline would require me to build special versions of Base for 
the two Darwin targets before building the vlinac — not hard I admit, but it 
adds another significant step to the packaging process.  I've added a copy of 
Steve Lewis' instructions to the README file instead.

If you or anyone else wishes to provide a better built and packaged version of 
the vlinac for Darwin I'd be happy to host or point to it.  I would also love 
to see a few more down-loadable examples of other stand-alone IOC applications 
that beginners could install to try out EPICS.

An error is only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
When you learn something from it, it becomes a lesson.
