I'm committing the attached one-line patch to configure.in today.  I think
it implements the change Steve indicated, and should generate a configure
script that creates a Makefile that links readline ahead of other libraries,
instead of behind them.  

I can't test this atm because the machine I'm using doesn't have readline
installed.  I can say it doesn't interfere with non-readline builds!  Absent
negative feedback, it will be incorporated in tomorrow's snapshot.
