  When range checking was added to time.strftime() a check was placed on tm_isdst
  to make sure it fell within [-1, 1] just in case someone implementing
  strftime() in libc was stupid enough to assume this. Turns out, though, some
  OSs (e.g. zOS) are stupid enough to use values outside of this range for time
  structs created by the system itself. So instead of throwing a ValueError,
  tm_isdst is now normalized before being passed to strftime().

  Fixes issue #6823. Thanks Robert Shapiro for diagnosing the problem and
  contributing an initial patch.

  Issue 6877: this patch makes it possible to link the readline extension

  This also adds a minimal testsuite for readline to check that the

  C libraries.
