Readline doesn't work when started with env shebang #37

As reported in RubyInstaller list:

Seems that starting scripts with env shebang is breaking RbReadline support.

As workaround, starting the script with ruby -S irb seems to solve the issue.

According to the docs, -S is mostly to allow platforms that don't support the shebang-style script header to emulate it

Since irb is #!/usr/bin/env ruby, could it be that Git bash under Windows doesn't support #! (shebang)?
