The need for it is obvious, if you look at the declaration he patched 
out:  readline() is actually declared (in readline.h) as taking a 
_const_ char * parameter, while the (superfluous) declaration in the 
source had just a "char *" parameter, which is of course an incompatible 
redeclaration.

The patch is correct (or rather, it would be more correct if it simply 
deleted the line).
