Fixed setup.py to allow:
1. skipping of extensions which cause an error (a warning message
is written to stdout, but the build process no longer fails
completely)
2. the readline extension to compile on SuSE Linux (and probably
other platforms too) by adding /usr/lib/termcap to the library search
path
