Wrapper for readline

And readline's ./configure; make does not build it, because it is not yet
fully-baked (it is provided more as a starting point for the interested).  I
may consider adding it to my readline package distribution if I can ever
get it built, but it is not my highest priority at the moment.

 I imagine that is a utility to wrap
