...has broken compatibility with Readline 4.1 on all our Debian Potato
boxen. I've looked into it but don't understand one thing: why were there
changes necessary in sections that should be #ifdef'ed out when compiling
with libreadline-4.2?  Christian, can you fix this?

<swear> This libreadline nightmare makes me slightly sick.  Why does the
maintainer not release 4.3 *with* fine-grained version control before 4.2
screws up all upcoming Distros?  And then there is the C++-brokenness.  
SuSE did not get it right.  They seem to ship with two libreadlines now
and compile all their stuff to the old one!  Debian fixed it only after
agonizing for a few weeks.  Let's hope RedHat get's it right now. </swear>
