Or.. get the source package, find the icon file and replace it with the 
one you want before recompiling - no binary hacking required.

Actually, as this is open source software and thus you have (access to) 
the source, the usual way of customizing your software is exactly like 
this: "Use The Source, Duke!".

FWIW: the icon files are in /usr/src/rxvt/W11/wrap when the rxvt source 
pack is installed. The README for Cygwin tells you how to build it all.
(I must say, though, that I've never actually tried building rxvt 
myself..)
