Where are we on this? Right now readline is disabled on Win32. psql
works fine for me. In fact it is more native because the delete key
deletes, and control-d doesn't exit.

I am inclined to leave the code unchanged and we can revisit this later
after we figure out why readline doesn't work on some Win32 versions.
