Ah, ok. I was thinking that readline might have needed some help; most
other ncurses clients do... Obviously, whatever Eric thinks is best.
As an aside, ncurses has the ability to split the term handling into a
separate library (libterm) but I haven't enabled that on cygwin. The
design of that "split" has some unsatisfied symbols issues, so you can
really only do it on ELF platforms. :-( Anyway, I wonder if readline
could be built against libterm on linux -- if so, it would prove your point.
