I just created a `devel' branch in the readline git repository on
savannah.  You can get updated development snapshots there, just like
the bash `devel' branch.

Yes, using the readline devel branch.  Bash is where nearly all of the
readline development happens, but you will be able to build standalone
versions of readline using the devel tree.

I haven't separated out the readline changelog entries from the bash
changelog (and may not get to doing so).
