READLINE PATCH REPORT
                          =====================

Readline-Release: 6.3
Patch-ID: readline63-005

Bug-Reported-by:        Juergen Daubert <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-ID:       <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-URL:      http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-03/msg00002.html

Bug-Description:

There are still applications using the deprecated Function/VFunction/etc.
typedefs in rltypedefs.h.  This patch restores the typedefs, but attempts
to mark them as deprecated using gcc/clang attributes.  Thanks to Max Horn
for the suggestion.

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
