Actually, it's a lot more than just changing the default. If the
build system doesn't have libreadline/libedit/libtermcap installed,
the build will fail.
You need to add detection of the libraries' presence on the build
system, and then the "--enable-*" options can go away entirely.
See, for example, the way libuuid is detected in
m4/package_uuiddev.m4....
Also, libedit is only supposed to be used as a fallback option if
libreadline is not available.
Cheers,
Dave.
