If there is a program that links with OpenSSL and some GPL'd program,
and has to be linked with that GPL'd program to work right, then it
violates the GPL to distribute it. This was all assuming that
editline *is* a good enough replacement to make the program no longer
in violation of the GPL (provided, of course, that we don't ourselves
proceed to distribute a version that links with readline).

I don't want that because I want the ability to have *BOTH* libraries
installed.
