Summary: Detect incomplete readline implementation

Initial Comment:
Here's a patch for setup.py to detect  BSD-ish readlines that
don't have the full suite of readline/history functions needed
by Python (and provided by GNU readline).

You mentioned on python-dev and in the diff that autoconf
could detect this better.  Would adding something to
configure and having distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var()
see if it is set be a better solution?
