Problem starting rxvt with Cygwin 1.3.6-4

> $ rxvt
> failed to load libX11.dll

I see no evidence of this file (though I see the suspiciously named libW11.dll).
I searched the list archive and found only these messages:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00254.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-05/msg01727.html

neither of which is particularly helpful.

I swear I never installed XFree at all before, but I just recently started 
using rxvt (and was enjoying it immensely).  I reinstalled rxvt and cygwin, to
no effect.  I did just reinfest my machine with Rational Suite Enterprise, so
god knows what that has done to me...

Never mind; I just read through /usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README and realized
that Rational had set the environment variable 

	DISPLAY=:0.0

once I set that to 

	DISPLAY=:0

and rxvt comes up like normal.

NOTE: since I was using rxvt as part of my CYGWIN.BAT file, I had to do:

	chdir \cygwin\bin

	set DISPLAY=:0
	rxvt -e bash --login -i

in order to make sure that rxvt worked properly.

   Never mind; I just read through /usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README and realized
   that Rational had set the environment variable 
   
   	set DISPLAY=:0
   	rxvt -e bash --login -i

This also works:
  rxvt -display :0 -e bash --login -i

I have my display set to 127.0.1.0:0 so that ssh X11 port forwarding works.
