Nope, the cygutils website was relocated to 
http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/ thanks to the generosity of Peter Castro. 
 Not much happening there; it was rendered largely obsolete once I got 
most of my stuff ported to the cygwin packaging system in (what? 2000?). 
 However, luconP.zip still lives there, at

http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/bashprompt/index.html

Strangely, if I set TERM=rxvt-cygwin-native , use luconP as my font , it 
does NOT matter whether my CYGWIN variable has codepage:oem, 
codepage:ansi, or neither.  The following behaviors are the same:

ascii.exe prints the line draw characters
pstree -G prints garbage

It *could be* due to the fact that pstree uses ncurses, and ascii does 
not.   Checking...

Hmmm.  /usr/lib/ncurses/test/ncurses.exe (part of the ncurses-demo 
package) turns the screen black-on-black when I try to check the 
line-draw characters.  So I can't even tell if ACS chars with ncurses is 
broken -- first I gotta figure out why the colors are getting scrogged 
by the test program!  Somebody, like the ncurses maintainer, should fix 
that.

Oh.  That'd be me, then.  Ooops.  I'll try to look into it soon, but PTC.
