keep it simple, just add a "pause" command after the dash.
So we will have:

/usr/bin/tclpip84.dll: skipped because not rebaseable
Press any key to continue . . .

or

rebaseall: only ash or dash processes are allowed during rebasing
    Exit all Cygwin processes and stop all Cygwin services.
    Execute ash (or dash) from Start/Run... or a cmd or command window.
    Execute '/bin/rebaseall' from ash (or dash).
Press any key to continue . . .

It will be always needed a command line version for people that are 
compiling by themself some programs

my own version is :
dash -l -i -c "rebaseall -s 'dll|so|oct' -T /usr/local/lista_rebase

as I have always additional dll's to rebase.
