Comment:
Neil, I propose that you check this in.

The edline.c file would need a little work to compile without warnings, and you should add #HAVE_STRDUP to edline.h (Python makes sure strdup() is always present).

The comment for Setup.dist "Neil Schemenauer's edline library" sounds a little strange given that most of the code is by others. Maybe "Neil Schemenauer's edline wrapper module"?

Comment:
I like Michael Hudson's idea of writing a readline
replacement in Python using modules like _curses and termios
better but I had this patch 90% complete before I recieved
his email.  I stripped the editline library down and updated
it for modern Unix systems.  I have no idea if it compiles
on anything other than Linux however.
