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. :-(

additional info:

with GNU readline 4.2 installed, python 2.2.2 build using gcc 
3.2.1 and native solaris /usr/ccs reports multiply-defined 
symbols: all are found in /usr/lib/readline.so and one of the 
following: __dso_handle (from gcc crtbegin.o), _init and _fini 
(from gcc crti.o), and _lib_version (from /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o)
