Three quick comments:

1) IIRC you do not urgently need readline on Windows since the standard
   fgets function already provides basic readline functionality there
   (at least this is what I saw when I built with MinGW a couple of
   years ago)
2) For the debugger, I think you have to run the EXE with the "-D"
   parameter to avoid that the stdio gets written to the files
   (see src/gui-win/opencon.c)
3) I've now also linked your Windows builds page on the Hatari website
   (http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/links.html)
