i've always found it a little annoying that these tools didn't have any kind
of line-editing support - particularly sh, being the default shell, and used
so often.

so, i've spent a few minutes adding support for the new libtecla(3LIB) to
both of them.  patches (against 20050720) can be found at:

    http://www.knams.wikimedia.org/~kate/solaris-patches/

of course, i would love to see OpenSolaris gain this functionality by
default :)

please, do read the readme, particularly for the sh patch.  i don't
guarantee that these won't make your system not boot, explode, shoot your
dog, and so on.

(the approach i've taken here seems at odds with not shipping static
libraries: a better solution would presumably be to move libtecla to /lib,
but i felt that was a rather major change for something this small.)
