Part of the inspiration for this program was a discussion in the pub about
Exim's patchy readline support. We could throw it away and recommend that
users install with-readline instead, which would provide readline support
for -bt and -bv as well as -be, and it could also be used by exim-fixdb etc.

DENMARK: STRAIT SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST 4 OR 5 BECOMING VARIABLE 3 OR 4 FOR A TIME,
BUT SOUTHWEST 6 IN FAR SOUTH LATER. RAIN AND SLEET AT TIMES. MODERATE OR GOOD,
OCCASIONALLY POOR.

with-readline version 0.1 is now released.

with-readline is a small program that allows the GNU Readline library
to be used with arbitrary programs, without having to recompile those
programs. It is useful for improving the user interface of simple
terminal-based programs which for whatever reason have not been
modified to use Readline themselves.

This is the first release of with-readline. Flaws surely remain.
