I've reworked the patches so that they work also with autoconf 2.52, and
moved readline detection to m4/readline.m4 so that configure.[in|ac] can
share this code. Seems to work. It would be very nice if you could test
this patch on the platforms you mentioned.

Patch attached.

PS The previously posted --disable-autoconf2.52 patch to autogen.sh is
very nice for testing patches such as the above.
