Hello,

Per:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607109

It seems we may have a problem to consider. As far as I know, we are the
only major platform that supports libedit but our default is readline.
Unfortunately readline is not compatible with OpenSSL (apparently?)
licensing.

This seems that it may be a problem for us considering the pre-package
builds we do.

What does everyone think? Should we work on getting libedit up to snuff?
