Re: [Ltib] Readline package expected but not found.

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Jim,

I can't recall why readline is missing from packages.lkc.  There is an
entry in pkg_map, I've just checked in the following update to Savannah
CVS, the package seems to build fine, but I've not tested on a target.

Regards, Stuart
