You can as well get away without readline, and just use fgets() if
you desire.  You only use the functionality to recall previous input
lines in terminal mode.  Don't know, readline also requires curses
under Unix (and with Cygwin).

Probably not.

Since only a simple (non-GNUish) getopt is required, you don't need
the GNU stuff here.  Should be simple to use a BSD version if legal
hassles prevent you from using the GNU one together with MinGW.
