[openbeos] Bash readline issue

Hi there,

after some investigation, I couldn't find any reason why we didn't 
append a slash in symlinked directories on tab name completion in the 
shell. And yes, I could reproduce that behaviour when I used our bash 
under BeOS as well.

As it turns out, readline has changed its tab completion behaviour 
since some version. I'd like to ask if you're okay when I apply this 
patch to the repository:

----------------------------------------

-int _rl_complete_mark_symlink_dirs = 0;
+int _rl_complete_mark_symlink_dirs = 1;
----------------------------------------

I am not entirely sure if this is the right place for the patch, but it 
sure works. And I don't see any reason to adopt that new default 
behaviour of readline for our shell since it's only confusing.

Bye,
   Axel.
