That's all find and dandy, but those are only the runtime dlls.  To compile 
against libreadline, you also need to have the 'readline' development package 
installed, which includes the additional headers and linktime libraries that 
configure is complaining about.  It is not installed by default; rerun 
setup.exe and select it for explicit download.
