postgresql/src/README.readline
Marc G. Fournier aa46d53fa4 Okay, this should pretty much clean up the psql/readline/history mess.
Added a README.readline file until configure is integrated to *try* and
explain the way things stand.

Removed a stray configure .in file

In preparation for using configure to compile PostgreSQL, various
define cleanups have been performed.
The most confusing has been psql's use of -lreadline
In order to turn on support for readline, your Makefile.custom file
*must* contain lines similar to:
USE_READLINE= yes
READLINE_INC=
READLINE_LIB=
READLINE_INC can contain:
-DHAVE_LIBREADLINE
not optional if USE_READLINE enabled
-DHAVE_READLINE_H
if <readline.h>, define this
-DHAVE_HISTORY
if you have either <history.h> or <readline/history.h>
-DHAVE_LIBHISTORY
if you have a libhistory.a
READLINE_LIB can contain:
-lreadline
not optional if USE_READLINE enabled
-lhistory
if you have a libhistory.a
Once support for configure is integrated into the distribution, this will
all be hidden "behind the scenes"
