readline has never worked well on Windows which is why we don't use it 
with the official builds. Even if you can get it to build, it'll only 
work in US locales iirc. From what you've posted of your experience, it 
doesn't sound like things have improved.

The other option is libedit, but last I tried that didn't even build on 
Windows. That was some time ago though.
