change bc to use readline


I recently installed another fresh copy of cygwin and was reminded of a complaint I have with bc...

It doesn't ship with readline support built in - and the source doesn't ship in a way that builds.

To get bc to compile (grabbing source using setup - the simple case):
* scan.l -- comment out the proto for readline: _PROTOTYPE(char *readline, (char *));
* configure --with-readline
* make


---------

At the very least I'd like to see this patch applied to the source (so at least readline support is easy to compile in).

Thanks!
