hi,
i found myself really wanting GNU readline support in zwrite, so i
decided to patch it in. i'm hoping someone can integrate this in so
all users have readline enabled if their systems support it.
here's the cheapest patch i could think of:

if (!nodot && bfr[0] == '.' &&
then ./configure would need to #define HAVE_READLINE if appropriate,
and zwrite's Makefile.in would need to conditionally link with
-lreadline (and -lncurses or -ltermcap)
