rlwrap is not the problem. Running 'cmd.exe' within rxvt is not
possible; cmd.exe expects direct access to the console host (csrss on
WinVista-; conhost.exe on Win7+). That is, it expects that functions
like those listed here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682073%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
such as ReadConsoleInput or WriteConsoleOutput will work.
rxvt is not what windows expects as a console host. It is a terminal
emulator, and basically communicates with the inferior (bash, etc) via
stdio pipes, and unix-style signals.
rxvt + cmd.exe won't work.
