well duh - of course it's not!...

mingw (-mno-cygwin) applications running in rxvt do not recognize it as
a console (which, I guess, it is not) and lack line editing &c.

Besides, I am getting an error on tcflush() when running a cygwin
application in it.

Before I switch back to bash/w32-console, just to make sure:
am I missing something obvious?

thanks.
