When hugs's standard input is not a tty, this patch stops it prompting
or attempting to use readline.  It also disables $$ in that situation;
this could be changed if desired, but is probably the right thing.

If it is put it in, the --with-readline option of configure can probably
be ditched (i.e. set USE_READLINE if editline or readline is available).
