Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to compile readline.c again with GNU readline versions 2.0 or 2.1; this ability was removed in readline.c rev. 2.49. Apparently the older versions are still in widespread deployment on older Solaris installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly different (a space is always added).

TODO
PYTHON DOCUMENTATION TO-DO LIST -*- indented-text -*-
===============================
General
-------
* Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
Python/C API
------------
* The "Very High Level Interface" in the API document has been
requested; I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill in a bit there. Request
by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. (Partly done.)
* Describe implementing types in C, including use of the 'self'
parameter to the method implementation function. (Missing material
mentioned in the Extending & Embedding manual, section 1.1; problem
reported by Clay Spence <cspence@sarnoff.com>.) Heavily impacts one
chapter of the Python/C API manual.
* Missing PyArg_ParseTuple(), PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(),
Py_BuildValue(). Information requested by Greg Kochanski
<gpk@bell-labs.com>. PyEval_EvalCode() has also been requested.
Extending & Embedding
---------------------
* More information is needed about building dynamically linked
extensions in C++. Specifically, the extensions must be linked
against the C++ libraries (and possibly runtime). Also noted by
Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>.
Reference Manual
----------------
* Document the Extended Call Syntax in the language reference.
[Jeremy Hylton]
* Document new comparison support for recursive objects (lang. ref.?
library ref.? (cmp() function). [Jeremy Hylton]
Library Reference
-----------------
* Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc. Partial
update submitted by Jim Kerr <jbkerr@sr.hp.com>.
* Update the httplib documentation to match Greg Stein's HTTP/1.1
support and new classes. (Greg, this is yours!)
Tutorial
--------
* Update tutorial to use string methods and talk about backward
compatibility of same.
NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE
---------------------
* In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
<lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter
and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we
change the index entries in the text.) Also only a problem in the
print version.
* Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
hack in tools/mkhowto. (Probably not worth the trouble of fixing.)
