The trouble with having chosen "Console" as the name of your project is 
that Microsoft refers to the thing you get by default in a standard Windows 
system when you ask for a command prompt as "windows console" if they are 
being explicit, and "console" when being less explicit. This can lead to 
confusion and misunderstandings.

I was referring to Microsoft's "Windows Console" (as it appears in headings 
of various MSDN articles), the thing you get running bash if you start up a 
shell window in a conventional Cygwin installation.

As for rxvt, it's available as a cygwin package if you want to know more 
about it.
