Yes.  Now would be a good time to rewrite vinum's management program
to use libedit() rather than libreadline() to eliminate one or two of
the offending libraries.  It is the odd-man out.

However, Tim Kientzle posted something similar a while ago that takes
the idea one step further by having a statically linked rescue binary
in case one of the shared libraries dies.  I've forwarded that to
hackers@.  It may be an older version of his patches, but it was the
one I saved in my mailbox.
