Apple ships standard in /usr/lib, libreadline.dylib which is a symlink
to libedit.<versionnum>.dylib at least as far back as Mac OS X 10.5.

This should build out of the box, however, if you are using a binary
compiled on a newer OS X, the libedit.<version>.dylib can cause
problems because the version keeps increasing with every OS X so it
won't resolve on an older OS X.
