I don't need any curses but libreadline requires it. When I compiled
without -lpdcurses linker displays some errors that cannot find some
terminal function which was probably needed by readline functions. I'm
not sure if I can compile it with different curses than readline
expect but I'll try... BTW is there some more lightweight readline
library? I need only history with edit and maybe command completion.
Big readline enlarge exe size about 50-100k after upxing... I heard
about similar lib for freebsd but never tried.
