To the maintainers of the one click installer: Please fix IRB. It always 
uses readline. The error is in irb/context.rb:

This should be this:

>             (use_readline?))
> 	  @io = ReadlineInputMethod.new
> 	else

It would also be very nice if a default .inputrc could be included. This 
is causing trouble for all German and Italian users and I guess there 
are others that are affected by this, too...
