(#!/bin/sh, in the case of MSys "symlinked" to bash.exe), right? are we
comparing apples and oranges? or is there another sh.exe from Microsoft or
MSys acting as a graphical xterm-alike window and not a Bourne shell
interpreter?
You do not need rxvt to offer bash in a console window. The MSYS console
window does not use rxvt by default as of 2009.03.17.

Having been the default for 4 years means "new"? Because of the problems
with rxvt, I have been using the official MSYS default (cmd.exe + sh.exe)
for the last few years in my on wingrass versions as of 6.4.1.
