Despite most (but not all) of my Windows machines running 64-but windows7, I've procrastinated on switching to cygwin64, but I recently had to replace my laptop with a new Windows 10 machine, and figured I might as well install cygwin64.  Everything went well until I discovered rxvt is not available in 64-bit.  I found this thread (https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-09/msg00016.html) from 9/2013 in the archives, but there doesn't seem to have been any resolution.

no plan.
rxvt is dead upstream, and rxvt without X is a hell and without
a maintainer by long time

mintty is a much better solution and with an active maintainer
