[darcs-devel] [issue671] Use readline when getting user input

[Jérome Perrin]

New submission from Jérome Perrin <perrinjerome at gmail.com>:

The attached patch it a proof of concept to enable readline when asking user,
for example in the "What is the patch name?" question on record command.
The motivation is that arrow keys doesn't work there, and simply print sequences
like "^[[D".

I'm new to haskell, this patch has some problems:
* in the configure, it checks for the presence of readline library, not haskell
module. Maybe this is not correct.
* program does not exit properly when the user press C-c during askUser.
