The change is truly trivial:

--- cygwin.bat.orig     Tue Jan  8 09:15:22 2002
+++ cygwin.bat  Tue Jan  8 09:20:22 2002
@@ -3,4 +3,4 @@
 D:
 chdir \cygwin\bin
 
-bash --login -i
+start rxvt -sl 300 -e bash --login -i

but since this file is, I believe, originally created by the CygWin installer, 
the change needs to happen there.
