Okay, I think I've got an answer to this.  Download:

  http://whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/dist/readline.so-for-1.8.zip

Two files inside.  Place readline.dll in $RUBY/bin.  The readline.so 
goes in $RUBY/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32.  Then, to get Irb working with 
Readline:

  irb --readline -r irb/completion

Try it and get back to me.  I'm sure Curt would put this in the Windows 
Installer.

...

Another alternative: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?FXIrb.  Completion 
could be hacked in by handling Fox::KEY_Tab in onKeyPress.

Anyone at all -- Do the OS X binaries come with Fox libraries?
