On Windows we have a replacement terminal, which has all the features
you want, and also supports tabs like Konsole. I've used it for
several years, and it works great. Have a look and see if you like it,
then we can add it to the repo:
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

Original name, ey? :-)

A fine example of windows hackery (they had to inject some code into
the process running a standard windows console to redirect the IO,
because windows has no tty of any form).
It is wonder it works, but it really does (surprisingly often).
Very impressive.

I have some issues with it, though.

- I really hate to leave anything older than W2K behind.  You might not 
  care, but I do.

- I tested it, and it gave a constant flicker, at least in the status bar.  
  Does not seem to be that fleshed out.

So I'd really like to see rxvt.exe fixed.
