One would hope there wouldn't be licensing issues linking a GPL library
into a GPL program :-)  These days, people seem to panic at the term GPL
very easily.

Also, ghc already contains a binding to readline (it is used by ghci), so
it shouldn't be terribly difficult to make use of it.

Just make sure that the code checks for a tty, and doesn't use readline in
that case.  I have scripts that invoke darcs --pipe frequently, and would
like those to continue to work.
