This still isn't ideal. The readline library has some shell specific
code that isn't invoked if libreadline is a shared lib. Look at the
code inside the SHELL ifdefs.
If you really want to have bash work with a shared libreadline,
introduce a new global variable into libreadline, rl_shell. Replace
'#ifdef SHELL' with 'if (rl_shell)'. Then bash can set this
variable.
