Summary: GNU readline version confusion

Initial Comment:
configure and setup.py don't look for GNU readline the
same way. If you have e.g. readline 4.2 installed in
/usr and a different version in /usr/local, setup.py
uses the version from /usr/local, but the feature
testing in configure finds the 4.2 features in
/usr/lib/libreadline* anyway. :-(
