 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.
