Summary: Check for readline 2.2 features

Initial Comment:
This patch adds a snippet to configure.in,
to check whether 
rl_completion_append_character
(which is used in Python 
2.3) is available.

rl_prep_terminal is assumed to co-exist 
with rl_completion_append_character.

It is assumed that 
HAVE_RL_COMPLETION_APPEND_CHARACTER will be 
used in readline.c to make it compatible with older versions of the 
readline library.

New patch for configure.in (added a comment) and a patch
for 
readline.c that uses 
HAVE_RL_COMPLETION_APPEND_CHARACTER.

Tested 
on Gentoo Linux with new readline (the new completion
behaviour 
was preserved) and on Solaris with old readline (now compiles, with old 
completion behaviour in place).
