libedit

[Ted Creedon]

adding set -x to .configure reveals that --with-libedit=/usr/lib64 makes it
look for //usr/lib64/lib which is why it can't find el_init...

As a general note it looks like configure needs to be rewritten to use
pkg-config...

Its difficult to get a working ssh because configure doesn't clearly report
errors..
