Applied to next, thanks. However, it is weird that the configure.ac
script doesn't check for the availability of libreadline, and it simply
gets used directly with -lreadline from two Makefile.am.

Another question is whether the maintainers of openipmi realized that
readline is under GPLv3, and that therefore they are forcing openipmi
users to bring GPLv3 software to their system. I personally have
nothing against GPLv3, but I know some people/companies don't really
like GPLv3.

Best regards,

Thomas
