How many readline compatible libraries do we need, right?
Apparently editline originates from minix.

I am packaging editline because it is a (recent) dependency of nix alas.
(nix itself can't be packaged properly in Fedora anyway because of '/nix'.)
Probably it could be retrofitted to use libedit
<https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/2228#issuecomment-400399271> instead but
I don't really want to do that.
So adding editline will make it easier to build nix for Fedora.

Thanks, Jens
