That won't work, CYGWIN environment settings needs to be set
before starting a bash shell. 
First option:	as system wide env-variable
Second option:	in cygwin.bat, if it is used to call cygwin bash shell.
	That has no effect if you are calling rxvt direct to use cygwin,
	therefore it needs to be set as windows-system-wide env-setting.
