Summary: readline broke between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3

Initial Comment:
Patches readline.c to readline.c (2.48->2.49) and
2.41.6.2 -> 2.41.6.3 broke readline for many
applications, with no recourse.

Readline's behavior since 1.5.2 has been to append a
space to the end of completions.  Many completers
depend on this functionality to provide enhanced
completion.  Those CVS commits broke all of them with
no recourse.  Instead of adding a function to set the
append character, and then making rlcompleter use that,
the readline module itself was changed and now nobody
can do enhanced completion.

Please *please* fix this.
