Rxvt vs. command.com as standard cygwin window


I think that a shortcut to something like

  run rxvt -e C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
  (or putting the call to rxvt into cygwin.bat)

would be preferable to the current command.com /c cygwin.bat shortcut
because:

   * rxvt has scrollbars
   * rxvt allows for decent cut and paste
   * rxvt allows resizing of the window

Rxvt's current standard font should be changed however since it
doesn't distinguish between 1 and l.

The only disadvantage I can see is that rxvt is not as familiar
as command.com to people new to Unix. But those people are in
trouble anyway :-)
