Turns out it is a two step process. You first have to run "cmd" as you say. Then you run a dos bat file to set up the env which seems to complete but unless you type "exit" it does not take effect. After typing exit you can run the nmake (still in windows cmd mode) which runs as if it were in a regular command window (dos box). After the nmake finishes, you can type exit again which returns you to bash mode in the rxvt box.
