this message from the Cygwin mailing list:

@subsection Is there a better alternative to the standard console window?
Yes! Use rxvt instead. It's an optional package in Cygwin Setup.
You can use it with or without X11. You can resize it easily by
dragging an edge or corner. Copy and paste is easy with the left and
middle mouse buttons, respectively. It will honor settings in your
~/.Xdefaults file, even without X.
Don't invoke as simply ``rxvt'' because that will run /bin/sh (really
ash) which is not a good interactive shell. For details see
@code{/usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-<ver>.README}.
