It doesn't require libx11.dll.  It can USE libx11.dll under certain 
circumstances.  Basically, it dynamically loads (using dlopen()) either 
libX11.dll or libW11.dll depending on the value of the DISPLAY 
environment variable.  Try this:

'rxvt.exe -display :0 -title rxvt-noX -e bash -login'

and you'll get the "native Windows, nonX" behavior.
