It accesses the console's screen contents through Win32's GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo() and displays it in its own window while hiding the actual console. I can't see a way to combine this sort of approach with ptys.
If you have a captured interface then a windows console could be treated like a pty.
The fact that windows apps don't like cygwin ptys is why we never made rxvt the standard interface. What would be nice is to give the user some easy way to decide which they want. We would, of course, still get people complaining about whichever choice they made, though.
