Bug Description
Kudos for supporting the latest version of libedit in the new releases ... but ... one of the great benefits of the latest version is that it supports unicode -- UTF8 strings. From what I can tell, the current ubuntu builds do not enable this. So, for example:
reports:
checking if you want wide-character code... no
To get UTF8 support one normally needs to ./configure --enable-widec which then defines WIDECHAR in config.h which causes symbols like history_w history_wend history_winit and el_wget el_wgetc el_wgets to appear in the library.
It would be great if you did this: I'm exhausted in explaining to my users where they can get libedit and how to build it from source :-(
