Subject: postgresql74-client shouldn't require readline

The documentation for building Postgres 7.4.x clearly indicates that
while
readline is desireable, that on NetBSD, libedit (a normal installed
system
library) is acceptable and will be used if readline can't be found.
But the pkg for postgres74-client lists readline as a requirement, so
the system builds and installs it, without letting the postgres build
process
simply use the existing libedit library.
This seems broken to me. Does someone know of a good reason why
libedit isn't sufficient? If not, can we please fix it to not require
the libreadline
package?
Thanks...
