Might want to check-out mintty.  I just found-out about this new package within 
cygwin, and it's a replacement for the usual cygwin+windows commandline window.  
The reason it's so great, it allows mouse buttons to be used for copy & pasting 
within Windows!

And, it put's a nice icon of itself on your desktop, similar to the 
cygwin+windows_commandline after installing from within cygwin.  No X is 
required either.

From here, mintty's code is likely an excellent resource to figure how they 
worked around the Window's issues with mouse copy & pasting.
