Cross-compiling tinc 1.1 for Windows

I've managed to compile tinc with ncurses for the top command using script.
https://github.com/lancethepants/tinc-Windows/blob/master/tinc.sh

I haven't had any success making a working tinc.exe with readline 
included.  It appears to compile fine, but when I run 'tinc -n vpn' it 
display the shell prompt, then immediately kicks out of the shell back 
to the terminal. I'd be interested in seeing how you compiled readline.

The official binaries from what I can tell don't have readline. At least 
when I hit TAB for autocomplete it doesn't work. Don't know if it's 
expected to work in Windows cmd shell  though.
