Sorry, there was a logic error in the readline bit. Turns out if you
actually try to use that configure option then compilation fails.
Also, in spite of the --enable-static-link option the resultant binary is
dynamically linked. I checked both a port build and building it by hand,
same result. The current shells/bash (4.0) does not have this problem.
