I found the pure Perl implementation of the readline libraries called
libterm-readline-perl-perl [1]

I hope some one could port it into Ruby.
If no one port it until the end of this month, I will port it.

BTW, I succeeded "gem build" as well as "gem install" with my zlib.rb
and rbzlib.rb.
You should test it with the latest zlib.rb and rbzlib.rb at  [2]
