Ok, I was too impatient and did the header translation now. :-) Please
find attached the units Readline and History as well as five example
programs. This is compatible to the most current version 6.2
  http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html

Everything is GPL as the GNU Readline Library is itself. I'd be happy if
these files can be included in future FreePascal releases.

If you find any improvements or comments don't hesitate to send me an
EMail.

Thanks
