Making RXVT The Standard Terminal

All--
I've downloaded the latest build of RXVT, and it just took a quantum
leap in usability. With the new noconsole build, I have a shortcut in my
start bar pointing to:
D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -rv -sl 20000 -fn courier -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i
Loads *fast*--at least a few times faster than the old batfile hack.
It's ridiculously beautiful.
Problems:
1) rxvt doesn't have mouse support yet
2) TERM=cygwin vs. TERM=xterm-color
3) If you load cmd.exe through it, doskey doesn't work and *nothing*
executes inline. I'd like the ability to specify what should and shouldn't
pop up a new window.
I'd *really* like to see RXVT become part of the standard distribution
now. Is there anything I can do to help this happen?

P.S. The first thing everyone seems to do when installing cygwin is create
drive mounts in the root directory in binary mode, i.e.
mount -b c: /c
mount -b d: /d
Could this be made a default state, or at least something in the
installer? People should know that symlinks work too.
