GNU readline installs to <readline/readline.h>. Most applications
use #include <readline/readline.h>.

Obviously, we should adhere to what readline uses - the whole point of the
emulation layer is to provide an environment where applications
written for readline may be linked with editline with minimal
changes.  It was a mistake that the headers were originally installed in
/usr/include and not /usr/include/readline/, at a first place.

Note that this change only breaks those pkgs, which contains special
patches to use NetBSD-specific <readline.h> instead of 'standard'
<readline/readline.h>, or check presence of /usr/include/readline.h.

As a matter of fact, this change WAS discussed. I posted an e-mail about
intended change to tech-userlevel couple of days ago.

Note that gdb uses normally internal readline and sets up -I
directives so that it reaches it's own copy of readline, not the
system one. It just happened to work due to how "foo.h" works. It's IMHO
better to put proper -I directive to Makefile for gdb to reach
<readline/readline.h>, than to needlessly deviate from original
gdb.
