yes, i recently tried to recompile ash with line editing capabilites, it
needed a library called editline or something like that. from what i
understand it is avaliable as part of BSD (386BSD or NetBSD or FreeBSD), i
think a debian package would be useful. i do not think there should be any
licence problems, I suspect it is under the BSD licence
