Log:
Better tab completion support in the prompt UI for Mac OS X users.

For some Python versions, the Mac supplied libedit library is used rather 
than GNU readline.  But
this library uses a completely different language and hence tab completion 
was non-functional on
these systems.  The library difference is now detected and the correct 
language sent into libedit to
activate tab completion.
