readline improvements

The extra speed in read-line and friends is welcome, but there is
a weird side-effect (at least in guile-core-971215 on Ultrix), as
read-line has stopped working on pipes. A quick check showed that
%read-line is effected, but %read-delimited! is ok. Is this intended,
or should I flag it as a bug?

(define pp (open-input-pipe "cat boot-9.scm"))
(readline pp)
