FWIW PostgreSQL 16 will require Windows 10+.  Not a Windows user

Re configuration flags: don't waste time with the old perl-based build

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.
(but Ctrl Keys, History and Tab do).

Thanks for the support!
