Nothing, right now.

No. Or, rather, sure *you* could set up your system to do this but there is
nothing available out-of-the-box. It is very unlikely that there ever will
be anything like this.
If you were interested, you might be able to port "init" to cygwin. That's
what handles this on UNIX.

Not in the standard distribution, no.
If rxvt is causing WinNT to "blue screen" then something is wrong with your
WinNT.

You'd do this just like you do on UNIX, i.e., you'd use a pty to control
bash, not a pipe. If you are talking about a non-cygwin program trying
to control a cygwin program, then this will be very difficult.
