 well, the base system excludes the readline support as well as the
 existing port.  This is because the real readline is in the base system.
 So there is no need for a compatability layer. If there are license
 issues with cad/ngspice, then the authors of ngspice need to change the
 code to use libedit. Otherwise ngspice needs to depend on readline.
 I might find some time to adapt your patches to meet some of the
 criteria that I noted previously (since you've expressed disinterest in
 taking this on yourself ( no biggie.. It's just a time management thing)
