Ah, I didn't realize that. Sorry.

Uhm, why *can* we use his code for the Bash port, then? Did he only
give permission to use it for Bash?!?

No significant differences, but upgrading wouldn't be hard too and
might fix some minor bugs.
The termcap emulation (for the screen output) can wait IMHO, as a dumb
terminal is enough for most command line editing.
As it did not use Daisuke's Readline, did gdb ever work with PC keys?
