1) tcsh doesn't use readline.
	a. I'm not sure readline gives enough hooks anyway, esp. for
	   things like command-sensitive completion.
	b. since tcsh is BSD-style, not GPL, it would entail a major
	   change to the license.
2) tcsh has a *lot* of added features over csh.
3) tcsh has a *lot* of bugfixes relative to csh.

Even so, it wouldn't hurt to double check the compilation and make
sure it isn't built with debugging or something like that.
