Oh, wait, no coffee yet this morning. The LGPL allows conversion to GPL, so
technically I can do that without any upstream input. So really the
consideration here comes down to how much using gnu readline benefits the
program. Right now, since there's actually no dynamic library, using LGPL over
GPL provides no benefit at all to anyone, so I might as well make the conversion.

Further, it's probable that the calc library itself could remain under the gpl
with just the calc command-line binary converted -- the best of both worlds.
Because probably online the command-line util actually links against readline.
(Or am I missing something there?)
