Well readline is a pretty tough package for someone to step up and
volunteer to take over permenantly. However, with that being said, I'll
take a stab at making an upgrade. If it checks out, then I'll volunteer
to release it on the provision that I'm only filling in during Chuck's
absence. This should save him at least the trouble of packaging a new
release. I do not know enough about terminal programming to make an
effective, permanent maintainer. If someone else feels more capable, then
by all means please do.
Cheers,
Nicholas
