[ditz-talk] [PATCH] added GNU/Readline support

[Ramsey Dow]

ditz is great, but I've got fat fingers and make a lot of typos. GNU  
Readline comes with Ruby, so adding Readline support to ditz is a  
simple matter of programming. Now when I make mistakes I can edit them  
right there without having to use /edit. :)

p.s. this patch should be applied to mainline
