I'd say that since Windows doesn't have the concept of terminfo or
terminal types, and since SSH is mostly only supported through
cygwin-style "hacks", (or F-Secure, but I have no experience with that)
that we should not be _too_ concerned about that.
Users that *do* need to use rxvt or SSH should simply disable the color
mode, or alternatively, use the cygwin version. Color, while useful, is
hardly critical functionality.
My R0.02.

Rogan
