Re configuration flags: don't waste time with the old perl-based build system. The configuration should be done only with the new meson ...
love this feature. It would be good if the tests in src/bin/psql/t/010_tab_completion.pl pass on Windows, but if that's hard, don't let that stop you sharing a patch.
Okay, my "hacked" version actually passed all the tests (manually) except FILE completion.
(2 versions of readdir(), readline() called it's own, but landed in ours [linker symbol issues]).
I understand the problems well enough. I am going to change gears, and move to meson.
Without that, when I link readline() w/o any library/approach changes (mingw), arrow keys don't work.
