Is there a particular part of that file which is applicable here?  The
tests for various "modern" functions in readline aren't useful here,
since the gnulib "readline" module only claim to make the readline
function available.  So if your application need
rl_filename_completion_function, this gnulib module is not for you.
(Unless you improve the gnulib readline.c, that is...)  In readline.c
there is a comment:

/* This module is intended to be used when the application only need
   the readline interface.  If you need more functions from the
   readline library, it is recommended to require the readline library
   (or improve this module) rather than #if-protect part of your
   application (doing so would add assumptions of this module into
   your application).  The application should use #include
   "readline.h", that header file will include <readline/readline.h>
   if the real library is present on the system. */

Thanks,
Simon
