What about something like:

set DISPLAY=:0
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%A in (`tasklist ^|find /C "XWin"`) do if %%A==0 start C:\cygwin64\bin\XWin %DISPLAY% -multiwindow
c:\cygwin64\bin\ssh -Y 192.168.0.133 xterm

Note that the above bat fails to start XWin if it is already
started with DISPLAY other than :0.
