libreadline's build setup does not pass sysconfdir down to rlconf.h. This lead
to the fact that inputrc is NOT read from LOCALBASE/etc/inputrc, but from
/etc/inputrc. Looking at the grep output:

The cheapest fix is to modify rlconf.h. The better one to fix docs too, of
course.
As a smooth path of migration, one could apply the same scheme as ca_root_nss
does. Symlink from /etc/inputrc to LOCALBASE/etc/inputrc and note this in
UPDATING. This would completely decouple this port from base.
