I vaguely recall some discussion about whether building with readline

Seems like Kirk didn't pursue this further.
It's worth looking at, but I don't think it's possible for release 18 let alone the older releases. We should look at retiring Cygwin when all the live branches have psql with a working readline on native Windows builds.
