Here's a way to get the string "bash" in the title bar of a console
when it is minimized, running bash, and sitting at a shell prompt:

1. Put this in your .bashrc file:

	PROMPT_COMMAND="title bash"

2. Build this program, name it title.exe, and put it in a directory
named in your PATH:

	#include <windows.h>
	void main(int argc, char * argv[])
	{
	  SetConsoleTitle(argv[1]);
	}
