Ruby » Ruby 1.8

Quoted from #2761 It seems that the patch have been partially applied. The extconf.rb stuff was not applied sot the weird behaviour still remains :

# workaround for native windows.

/mswin|bccwin|mingw/ !~ RUBY_PLATFORM && have_readline_var("rl_catch_sigwinch")

/mswin|bccwin|mingw/ !~ RUBY_PLATFORM && have_readline_var("rl_catch_signals")
