That did not work, cmake died with:
CMake Error at cmake/readline.cmake:223 (MESSAGE):
Cannot find system readline or libedit libraries.Use WITH_READLINE or
WITH_LIBEDIT

This one did work.

It looks like READLINE is the way to go. And with this change added to
the earlier ones I got the build to complete with no errors. I haven't
tried running the test suite yet, but I will do that next. This build
was done with GCC, I want to also try building with the HP compiler to
see how that works.
