Subject: change bc to use readline
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I recently installed another fresh copy of cygwin and was reminded of a 
complaint I have with bc...

It doesn't ship with readline support built in - and the source doesn't 
ship in a way that builds.

To get bc to compile (grabbing source using setup - the simple case):
* scan.l -- comment out the proto for readline:  _PROTOTYPE(char 
*readline, (char *));
* configure --with-readline
* make

---------

At the very least I'd like to see this patch applied to the source (so 
at least readline support is easy to compile in).

Thanks!
