readline package with libedit

[Christian Maeder]

Good!

By the way I've the following lines in my ~/.ghci
from
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/998

:m +System.Console.Readline Data.List
getCompleterWordBreakCharacters >>= setCompleterWordBreakCharacters .
Data.List.delete '/'
:m -System.Console.Readline Data.List

Does this work with libedit, too?
