I have a nice setup now with Console2:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

and ansicon:

http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon/index.html

I have to start the shell through cmd.exe to activate the ansicon, like so:

cmd /c "c:\cygwin\bin\zsh.exe --login -i"

the tabs in Console2 are nice, not quite screen, but still good.

Maybe I'll look into getting console apps to work with screen, I doubt
it would be easy though...
