Readline for Windows in the FAQ

Maybe I'm just too new at this, but the GCH FAQ entry for readline in GHCi is confusing for me. Especially since it ends with the sentence "Instructions for GHC 6.2.2. are here." However, as the quote goes, "there's no 'here' here." - the location of the instructions are missing.

Could someone please clue me in to what I'm missing? That way, I could edit the Wiki page, to clue in others better.

I've removed the question now.  I think at one time it was possible to 
compile readline on Windows and to compile GHCi using that readline, but I 
haven't done it for a long time, and I don't know if it is still possible. 
  If you or anyone else figures out more, please add it to the wiki.

Cheers,
	Simon
