For those curious, this MSVC solution worked:

        // Format a "unique" NewWindowTitle.
        sprintf(pszNewWindowTitle, "%d/%d",
            GetTickCount(), GetCurrentProcessId());

        sprintf(pszNewCommand, "c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe -c \'echo -ne \"\\e]2;%s\\a\"\'", pszNewWindowTitle);
        system(pszNewCommand);

        // Ensure window title has been updated.
        Sleep(40);

        // Look for NewWindowTitle.
        hwndFound = FindWindow(NULL, pszNewWindowTitle);  // our program

There is no way that I know of to get the original title so I had to make my program set the title to something meaningful 
while changing the icon.  There are other difficulties as well when freeing icon handles but I have a solution if anyone is
interested.
