 Hi Phil;
 
 Thanks for letting me know all this. 
 
 cad/ngspice will look for a editline/readline.h header when asked to build with
 libedit; if new versions of FreeBSD have it then surely those platforms don't
 need this port.
 
 I am not sure that --disable-readline has any effect on this version, 
 the maintainer of the autoconf'ed version has changed and I saw no mention of
 this option on ./configure --help.
 
 In any case, this port needs a maintainer and I won't be it :(. Feel free to
 close the PR. Hopefully someone will solve the conflict with lang/onyx and
 submit a new PR.
 
 cheers,
 
     Pedro.
