Everything linking with readline

I remember a debate at one stage, about samba's readline support.  It
was to be thrown, but it received a stay of execution.  One of the
things I remember is that the linking of every program to libreadline
was a concern.  I just noticed that this is still the case.

Is there any reason we need readline for smbd, nmbd and freinds? 
Removing it would also reduce the number of dependencies for things like
RPM.
