You can install Mintty by selecting the mintty package in Cygwin's
setup.exe.  Just run setup.exe again and select the mintty package when
you get to the package selection panel without changing any of the other
settings that are already there on other panels.  Once installed, you
will find a shortcut for starting a Cygwin session within Mintty in your
start menu.  I'm pretty sure it will be in the Cygwin group.
