The GNU Readline library provides a set of functions for use by 
applications that allow users to edit command lines as they are
typed in. Both Emacs and vi editing modes are available. The 
Readline library includes additional functions to maintain a list 
of previously-entered command lines, to recall and perhaps reedit 
those lines, and perform csh-like history expansion on previous commands.

New Port: devel/readline-4.3 libreadline is out of date in base (both -STABLE and 5.x) HEAD is the only version thats up to date. This port is only temp (to make quftp work) until libreadline is updated. Actually I'm hoping that the submitter will keep maintaining this PR so that people will have the choice to update their readline libs. Maybe it could support LIBREADLINE_OVERWRITE_BASE ?
