Just curious: Why?
If you have libreadline installed, why would you want libeditline
installed to?
(remembering of course you can install libreadline in place of
libeditline on your own systems).
Of course, throughout this discussion I am assuming that libeditline is
fully ABI compatible, something I haven't investigated myself. I would
be surprised if it is not the case.
Also, I seem the package description of libeditline says that it has
fewer features. Any ideas what features it lacks?
