I am confused.

I have /usr/include/readline/history.h and /usr/lib/libhistory.so on
my GNU/Linux system, and the former has the prototype for add_history.
However Inetutils does not #include <readline/history.h>, nor does any
of the files in /usr/include/readline #include "history.h".

So where is the prototype for add_history coming from in Inetutls?
Should not we refer to history.h and/or -lhistory too as just as we do
for readline.h and -lreadline?

Secondly, is it possible for add_history to be in libreadline.so
instead of libhistory.so on GNU systems? Or in other terms why should
we check for add_history in both libreadline _and_ libhistory?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
