/** @class Readline

@brief C++ wrapper for GNU's readline library

This class is meant as a C++ wrapper around GNU's readline library.
Note that because readline uses a global namespace only one instance
of this class can exist at a time. Instantiating a second object after
a first one was deleted might show unexpected results.

When the object is instantiated readline's history is read from a file.
At destruction the history in memory is copied back to that file.
The history file will be truncated to fMaxLines.

By overloading the Readline class the function used for auto-completion
can be overwritten.

Simple example:

\code

   Readline rl("MyProg"); // will read the history from "MyProg.his"
   while (1)
   {
        string txt = rl.Prompt("prompt> ");
        if (txt=="quit)
           break;

        // ... do something ...

        rl.AddHistory(txt);
   }

   // On destruction the history will be written to the file

\endcode

Simpler example (you need to implement the Process() function)

\code

   Readline rl("MyProg"); // will read the history from "MyProg.his"
   rl.Run("prompt> ");

   // On destruction the history will be written to the file

\endcode

//!   computes the list of possible completions when state is zero, and
