   (1) Wait for readline-5.1 to be released, incorporate it into src/, and 
   then to add the minimal termcap stuff to a file in gdb/ that is only 
   used on MinGW.

   (2) I backport Chet's changes to rltty.c to the src/readline/ 
   sourcebase, and then proceed as above.  Because we know that these 
   changes will be in readline-5.1, we needn't worry overmuch about 
   divergence from upstread sources.

You'll still need the minimal termcap stuff in gdb/ in this case isn't it?

(And yes I too think that's the way to go.)
