'readline' library requires terminal-specific functions like
tputs()/tgetnum() e.t.c.
and should be linked with old-good 'libtermcap' (not provides with Cygwin now)
or with more recent curses library i.e. 'ncurses' or 'pdcurses'.

On the Cygwin's 'i686-w64-mingw32-gcc' crosscompiler 'libreadline' depends
on the 'ncurses' which has special support for Win32 console 'terminal'.
To enable Win32 console support set a TERM environment:

set TERM=#win32console

(yes! with # character)
