I've now built a Shellac-editline package using the bindings from the editline-0.2. It's on hackage[1]. I've run the package through a quick sanity check, but I have not extensively tested it.
Thanks, I've compiled it and run a short test on an Intel Leopard with success.

I wasn't amused to also change my sources to use editlineBackend instead of readlineBackend, besides changing the import to System.Console.Shell.Backend.Editline. Maybe the interfaces of the packages could be identical and one gets a warning when both packages are installed. (I suppose one package must be hidden then, during compilation.) 1. In order to compile under MacOS with editline and under Linux with readline it would be nice to use the same sources. In order to avoid several #ifdefs (maybe differently or suboptimal given) in user sources (to achieve 1.) such #ifdefs (or wrappers) should be part of the libraries (including the documentation for the license differences)!
