I'm wondering if it makes sense to add a "/usr/lib/textreadmode.o" to
Cygwin, so that applications like zsh and gawk don't have to have this
code to provide by themselves.  A simple 

  case "$host" in
  *-*-cygwin*)
    LIBS="$LIBS /usr/lib/textreadmode.o";;
  esac

in configure.ac would do it then.
