Good point, I didn't think about this as lua was linked to readline in
the past too, the not linking to readline the last few FE releases
actually was a packaging error. Still a good point, I'll look into this.
I think the readline is only used/needed for the cmdline interpreter,
but I'm not sure. It is currently however also linked into the lib.
