Would someone please port Readline to DJGPP so that the ported version
works like on Unix?  Arrows and other PC-specific keys are one issue
that should be resolved; the Alt key as a replacement for META is
another.

A few GNU packages use Readline for input, and it's a pity that I
still need to press Ctrl-P instead of Up arrow in GDB.  (I don't mind
doing this, as I'm accustomed to these Ctrl keys, but many PC users
aren't.)
