Where does the IOC shell come from?

The source is in <base>/src/libCom/iocsh/

I'm working with NetBSD, and when I generate an IOC, the shell I get
doesn't handle command history, or arrow commands.

There are three possible input mechanisms. The selection is made by
the build system COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY value, which may be EPICS (the
simplest in that it needs no additional external libraries, but
provides no command-line editing or history), READLINE (which uses the
GNU readline library), or TECLA (which uses the tecla library). Have
a look in <base>/configure/os/ for some examples.

Am I missing a library (like GNUreadLine)?
