Ok, with gcc-3.1 you need even more changes to eca-text.cpp to make it
compile against the new readline (which seems to be included in rh7.3).
Anyways, I just committed the changes to CVS and ecasound should once
again compile against old and new versions of readline in addition to its
own 4.0 copy.
I also tried upgrading the internal copy, but as it requires autoconf 2.50
(and I'm too lazy to modify the readline package myself), I'll postpone
this a bit. Maybe at some point we can start defaulting to sys-readline
and drop the copy of realine.

This is a bit complicated. C++ programs get implicitly linked to libstd++,
but ecalength (which is part of ecatools) is a C program so it doesn't get
linked against it. However it uses libecasound (through libecasoundc) so
the resulting binary will need libstdc++. I resolved this by turning
ecalength into a C++ program (ie. changing the .c->.cpp). Now the linking
works ok.
If we linked libecasoundc explicitly against libstdc++, libtool would
manage to track the dependencies correctly, but this would again break
building ecasound on non-gcc compilers (for instance Solaris). So quite a
mess really.
