support readline of windows?

[Freed-Wu]

readline has been transplanted to windows by MinGW: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-readline

Is it possible to let this python module support it?

I try to build the wheel but get this error:

  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [1 lines of output]
      Error: this module is not meant to work on Windows (try pyreadline instead)
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Currently I simply quit the build on Windows but I can give it a shot… I don’t have a Windows machine to test it on though, but with the help of Github Actions and some beta testers I might get there 🙂
