OK, thanks.

If everything else is OK, and since this required a fix to ipython
itself rather than just pyreadline, perhaps we should quickly cut a
0.8.1 release, that would include an official pyreadline as well.

This would make it stable for users on win32, as well as *nix ones
without readline (as occasionally happens on OSX or with hand-built
pythons).

Thoughts?
