This is a bug in the postinstall script. It used to work, so I'm not 
sure what changed -- but the postinstall SHOULD read:

${sbindir}/update-alternatives \
         --install ${bindir}/urxvt   urxvt   ${bindir}/urxvt-X.exe   30 \
         --slave   ${bindir}/urxvtc  urxvtc  ${bindir}/urxvtc-X.exe \
         --slave   ${bindir}/urxvtd  urxvtd  ${bindir}/urxvtd-X.exe

Note that the actual targets need .exe.

I'll fix this in the next release.  Thanks for the report.
