Turns out I didn't have the readline-dev package installed. As the have_rl
variable is wrapped in CPP macros, it indeed is not used when readline is not
available.

At least now the warning is gone...
The Texinfo manual is now kept in sync with the project information
manual pages. The Texinfo manual may be retired at some later date but
for now the two sets of documentation will be kept in sync.
* Added new rotor module (18) for Meade telescope rotors
* Implemented all needed rotor functions
* Added README.md
* Tested with DS-2000 Rotor with Autostar 494 and 506 serial cable
* Tested on Linux (Debian) with rotctl and gpredict
