Any chance you could build libreadline to use the wide version of the
ncurses library? If you include the correct headers
(-I/usr/include/ncursesw instead of -I/usr/include/ncurses) and link to
the correct import library (-L/usr/lib/ncursesw instead of
-L/usr/lib/ncurses), it should Just Work(tm).  Because, for the last
year or so, you sorta have to explicitly specify -I and -L options even
for "regular" ncurses during configury, this ought to require only a
simple change to your existing build script...
