I'm thinking of adding libreadline calls to the server.  Three questions:

1: Has anyone else started this?  Someone mentioned they were thinking of
   it but lacked the time.

2: Should the default be to *not* use readline?  Some people hate change,
   though it should be possible to make no visible changes (I'll even try
   to preserve the current odd ^D behaviour, if you wish it).  Of course
   compilation will process as usual if libreadline is not available.

3: A toughie.  Can anyone give advice on which systems require termcap
   and/or [n]curses with readline?
