From the RXVT changelog:

2.7.10 to 2.7.11
\-----------------------------------
Geoff Wing <gcw AT pobox DOT com> et al.
[...]	added 256 colour support for Cygwin [...]

I had no problems building rxvt from cvs a couple of days ago with the 256
color support enabled.  It runs great; the colors make for some really
pretty apps.
Here's the configure command I used:

./configure --enable-utmp --enable-wtmp --enable-lastlog \
 --enable-rxvt-scroll \
 --enable-next-scroll --enable-xterm-scroll --enable-frills \
 --enable-linespace --enable-mousewheel --enable-keepscrolling \
 --enable-old-selection --enable-transparency \
 --x-libraries=`pwd`/W11/lib \
 --x-includes=`pwd`/W11/lib \
 --with-x \
 --enable-languages --with-encoding=noenc \
 --enable-256-color \
 --disable-graphics \
 --disable-menubar \
 CFLAGS="-O -g -W -I`pwd`/W11" \
 LDFLAGS="-mwindows -Wl,--subsystem,console" \
 DLIB=`pwd`/W11/wrap/rxvt_res.o


Do note that the code change enabling 256 color support in Cygwin is
primarily in W11, the windows-native X implementation in the rxvt source
tree.  You still need an rxvt.exe compiled with 'enable-256-color' :)
I've been using this primarily on an athlon-64 mobile with a radeon 9600
mobility under XP Home; it's been solid.
