I just checked, all the consumers have *e*readline in WANTLIB.
Regarding behavior change *at* runtime, a bulk build can't really
help, can it?

The main fallout I'm thinking of is that some ports might start to
pick readline from ports.  By default bulk build might catch a few but
one should prevent dpb from junking devel/readline and then should
skim through the logs to assess all the offenders.

Another approach is to fix the hidden deps as they appear. ;)
