This package contains a bundled version of readline 2.0, and in its configure it claims the system Readline is broken.
A simple diff with GNU Readline 2.0 indicated a lot of coding style changes, especially extern C and ANSI function declarations. undefs and comments at the head of the files are also sometimes removed.
It will take some time to classify all those changes.
And, with the current autotools, is it still necessary to consider cases like C++ compilers compiling C source? At least gcc knows to look at the suffix.
