-------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch adds readline support to ZooKeeperMain, plus a bunch of other stuff:
auto-completion of commands and znodes, scrollable history, redo any of the
last 10 commands, a prompt that displays the command count, optional
surpression of watch notifications and defaults to localhost:2181 if no -server
flag is given on the command line.
Dropped / failed connections still fail fairly ugly, might be an idea to add a
'connect' command and catch the exceptions.
This depends on JLine 0.9.94 (available here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64033&package_id=61095&release_id=578593),
and the patch includes an update to the buildfile to look for the jar in
src/java/lib.
I have another version without readline support that does most of the above
stuff without scrollable history or tab auto-completion - it's not as nice to
use as the readline enabled version.

> ------------------------------------------------------------
> Possible improvements:
> Default host list to localhost:2181 when not given.
> Don't print a ton of debug, it looks like both cli_mt and zkCli.sh does this.
> Make a simple ls that lists subnodes one line at a time and a simple cat that
> lists only the node content, simple put etc.
> Shell with gnu readline capabilities and tab completion on node names would
> be a big improvement of usability during testing and debugging.
