I do not use cygwin to build gnuplot binaries native to windows.  I am using msys + mingw + mingw gcc
to build them.  I use cygwin when I build cygwin version of gnuplot.

For building of gnuplot on the above platform, ./configure-make procedure is not used but it uses
customized makefile (makefile.mgw) and config.h (config.mgw is override to config.h in make process.).

In makefile.mgw, there is no description of the readline feature.  I have a windows version
libreadline libraries provides by GnuWin32 project. I will try it Perhaps I have to add
-DHAVE_LIBREADLINE to complier flag, add include and library path and add -lreadline in linker flag.
Of cource, I will try it only for gnuplot.exe and do not want to do for wgnuplot[_pipes].exe. 

I do not know whether it will be successful or not.  Please wait keeping your expectations low.
If you or someone gives me suggestions for the matter, it will be welcome.
