To avoid the overhead of running an X server all the time, and to get an
actual decent terminal, I use rxvt locally.

Make sure you've got it if you don't have a full cygwin install, then I
just make a bat file and link to it. Here's the bat file.

$ cat /rxvt.bat
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
rxvt -fn 9x15 -tn xterm -sl 2000 -e bash --login -i

Much better than a command window, but still local and light.
