Hi,

We say that SHLIB_LIBS="-L/tools/lib -lncursesw" is needed to force
Readline to link against the libncursesw library. But:
1) Even if readline uses the tremcap functions, it does not link
against any library containing it (see the INSTALL file in source).
2) This switch had not effect to the only file where termcap appears:
readline.pc, which has "Requires.private: termcap" anyway.

Packages using the Requires.private field may therefore be fooled
by this, but I have found none until now, so the problem is unlikely
to occur.

Anyway, there is a configure switch, --with-curses, which allows
generating the correct readline.pc.

So we should use this switch, and remove the SHLIB_LIBS settings, which
do not bring anything.

Pierre
