Summary: Readline 4.2 Patch

Initial Comment:
This patch enables the Python readline module to
build cleanly against readline 4.2.  Specifically, it
configures Python to use either completion_matches()
or rl_completion_matches() as appropriate.  This is
necessary due to the deprecation of completion_matches()
(and the other functions defined in compat.c) in
readline 4.2.  In this case, deprecated means no longer
declared in readline.h but still defined in the readline
library (e.g. libreadline.so).

Although this patch is currently only necessary for Cygwin,
it eventually will be needed by the other platforms when
completion_matches() is finally removed from readline
(e.g., 4.3).

I tested this patch under the following environments:

	Linux with readline 2.2.1
	Linux with readline 4.2
	Cygwin with readline 4.1
	Cygwin with readline 4.2

and it functioned as expected.
