Sorry, there was a logic error in the readline bit. Turns out if you 
actually try to use that configure option then compilation fails.

Also, in spite of the --enable-static-link option the resultant binary is 
dynamically linked. I checked both a port build and building it by hand, 
same result. The current shells/bash (4.0) does not have this problem.
