This is basically the same than my patch does - it also uses the readline.c
from libguile.
However, after my last `scm_add_feature("gnu")' patch I just submitted to
the list, this can be done very cleanly in ice-9/boot.scm - conditionally
only linking in readline if it's a GPLed guile interpreter and catching
all exceptions.
I'm doing a new patch now.
