Wouldn't you know -- it wasn't really that hard:

AC_TRY_CPP([#include <readline/readline.h>],
have_readline=yes, have_readline=no)
if test $have_readline = yes
then
  AC_EGREP_HEADER([extern int rl_completion_append_character;],
  [readline/readline.h],
  AC_DEFINE(HAVE_RL_COMPLETION_APPEND_CHARACTER, 1))
fi

After putting this somewhere in configure.in it should only be a
matter of inserting the #ifdef's you talked about, referring to
HAVE_RL_COMPLETION_APPEND_CHARACTER. (I assume rl_prep_terminal is
linked to rl_completion_append_character in terms of versions here.)
