I'll check the code soon, but why don't you use READLINE_LIBS instead
of LIBREADLINE etc? That's the convention most other automake macros
I've seen use. Oh well, I guess it's just my personal taste :)

Also check this:

http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/Installed_Packages/vl_lib_readline.html

It also mentions libedit and libeditline (apparently those are other
GNU readline-like implementations).
