Actually, Mac OS X 10.4 has libedit (which has a readline emulation
layer). Previous versions of Mac OS X didn't have it (as far as
remember they had it as a private framework only, not for general
consumption). I've found that libedit causes crashes when used with
the advanced readline patch from the lua-users.org wiki (but that's
not part of lua proper, so it may be ok).
