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 :-)
