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

src/README.readline

+
+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"
