Gee, that's a hard one... (build and tested that it was included)...
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...

Hmmm...Oh...I thought configure did that detection.. Now I see that
was never put it and it was basically a 'manual' on/off switch
that was available.
Urk.
On top of matters, my local distrib had readline installed in a way that
it wouldn't link had libreadline.so.x.y, libreadline.so.x => libreadline.so.x.y in
/usr/lib64 but libreadline.so=>libreadline.so.x was in
/usr/lib64/readline/libreadline.so.
???
Will have to figure out why that is and where it is supposed to be (I just
moved the soft-link from /usr/lib64/readline/libreadline.so to one dir up -- same
with libeditline...
Also, libedit is only supposed to be used as a fallback option if
libreadline is not available.

Oh... thought readline did the history part and edit did the edit part...
Oi vey...
Well.. hrumph...
Will have to look this over when i get some more time.
Have a system disk upgrade to do first...
Sigh. That I actually thought something might be simple... what an idiot!
