Oh god, this man is insisting.
The default white color on terms without being able to change faces is 
lightgrey!
White is used for bold on such stupid terms, which is a more important 
emphasis to have than white.

Or how to define bold white then?
Some better terminals, like rxvt, know how to render Courier-Bold or 
Lucida-Bold, but CMD.EXE not.
Since our default is CMD.EXE and not rxvt, your desiderations (white on 
black) are bogus.

The only better solution is to use a term (rxvt) which can do this.
Use TERM=rxvt-cygwin-native then and not TERM=cygwin.
