There are a bunch of statements in your mail, which indicate to me you are
using some sort of a soup.

Yes there is one. Which Cygwin are you using? B19, B20, Version 1.0,
version 1.1.0??

There is no X11R6.3 package, any more, available from
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree
Which mirror site did you use? Did you try Cygwin/Xfree Home Page at
the above mentioned URL?

I thought rxvt is from Buba??? The rxvt should not require an X-server
if that is the correct version as distributed by it's original author.
Since that version does not need X11 libs you should not see C locale
and termcap entry warning and/or errors.
