For those curious, this MSVC solution worked:

??????? // Format a "unique" NewWindowTitle.
??????? sprintf(pszNewWindowTitle, "%d/%d",
??????????? GetTickCount(), GetCurrentProcessId());

??????? sprintf(pszNewCommand, "c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe -c \'echo -ne \"\\e]2;%s\\a\"\'", pszNewWindowTitle);
??????? system(pszNewCommand);

??????? // Ensure window title has been updated.
??????? Sleep(40);

??????? // Look for NewWindowTitle.
??????? hwndFound = FindWindow(NULL, pszNewWindowTitle);? // our program

There is no way that I know of to get the original title so I had to make my program set the title to something meaningful 
while changing the icon.? There are other difficulties as well when freeing icon handles but I have a solution if anyone is
interested.
