As a user of Clearcase on Windows and Cygwin/Rxvt, while I understand 
the problem partially (for example, typing cleartool will not give you a 
prompt) I still use the Clearcase command line without much stress. I 
simply do the individual cleartool commands without dropping into the 
cleartool command prompt, such as:

$ cleartool lsview
$ cleartool checkout -nc <pname>

In fact I alias cleartool=ct so:

$ ct lsview
$ ct checkout -nc <pname>

and for many commands I wrap functions around them like lsview does an 
ct lsview | grep "$@" and llview will do ct lsview -long "$@".
