Thanks for the report. I'd actually like to remove readline as a
dependency at some point, it is only used by jhci which is more of a
debugging tool for jhc developers than anything.

Though, now that Mark has shown dynamic linking to work, perhaps it
would be possible to turn it into a real command line interface like
ghci...
