libedit

cross-platform port of NetBSD libedit to Linux and Windows.

This is CMake port of the NetBSD Editline library (libedit). This Berkeley-style licensed command line editor library provides generic line editing, history, and tokenization functions, similar to those found in GNU Readline.

This port of libedit bundles the following dependencies:

• Public Domain Curses (Modified), aka PDCursesMod, an X/Open curses implementation.
• terminfo implementation using the NetBSD tparm implementation.
• BSD compatibility layer for Win32 from openssh-portable.
• BSD regex implementation.
