The configure code currently has this:
# readline on MinGW has problems with backslashes in psql and other bugs.
# This is particularly a problem with non-US code pages.
# Therefore disable its use until we understand the cause. 2004-07-20
if test "$PORTNAME" = "win32"; then
if test "$with_readline" = yes; then
AC_MSG_WARN([*** Readline does not work on MinGW --- disabling])
with_readline=no

2004 is a very long time ago. Has anyone looked at this more recently?
It would certainly be nice to have readline-enabled psql on Windows if
possible.
cheers
