Undocumented rwind/client dependency on libedit.so.3

[diamond-lizard]

When I tried racket -l rwind/client I got an error:

ffi-lib: couldn't open "libedit.so.3" (libedit.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
  context...:
   /usr/share/racket/collects/ffi/unsafe.rkt:117:0: get-ffi-lib10

It seems this is because I didn't have libedit installed on my machine, as the rwind README did not mention it as a requirement.

Furthermore, once I did have it installed, I continued to get the same error because on Gentoo Linux (which is what I'm using) that library is installed as libedit.so.0.0.47, not libedit.so.3. Also, confusingly, the Gentoo package version for libedit is 20130712.3.1, not 0.0.47 or 3 or 3.1. Anyway, once I created this symlink, it worked: ln -s /lib64/libedit.so.0.0.47 /lib64/libedit.so.3

Thanks for your feedback! I'm currently in a rush, but I'll get back to this soon. Good to know you could fix this one.
