NetBSD not-so-recently added GNU readline emulation to their libedit. Last time I looked, they'd made a mess of the code with #ifdefs, but it'd still be possible to bring across the useful bits. FWIW, I really don't see the point of partial support for building GNU-free systems. It sounds like something that should be kept as a local diff. Tim
