Message:

Corrected a grammatical error: the subordinate clause "that offers ..."
modifies the plural noun "libraries"; it must use a plural verb.
Clarified how many "configure" options Readline uses. Tightened the
prose, and used the definite article in lieu of the indefinite article,
because only one readline.pc file can possibly be the "correct" one.
