How about rxvt? It has a native window (no X required) mode.

c:
chdir c:\cygwin\bin
REM See ~/.Xresources for rxvt configuration resources
start C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e bash --login -I

# This happens to be my ~/.Xresources, you might think it sucks. I like 
it.

any other structural changes were just a matter of style."
