I've updated this file with an improved makefile for libedit, as well
as a patch which should allow world to build (the pppctl changes are
from Brian, most of the rest are taken from or inspired by changes
applied to NetBSD).

The vinum patch hilights the problem that the new "libreadline" (just
a symlink to libedit) exposes new symbols which may conflict with an
existing program.  I'm not sure how to deal with this.
