No, let me try to clarify:
a) my first installation was cygwin.tar.gz + the Cygwin DLL
  (probably from http://www.os.rim.or.jp/~eban/ - I don't
   have it here in my office)

  Here the cursor keys worked with irb.

b) I installed the Ruby/mswin32 binary, including irb,
  and was somehow disappointed because cursor keys
  did not work. I just would like to know how
  (any) readline library could be used with Ruby/mswin32
  - or has it been intentionally left out?
