The need seems like the exception rather than the norm. The posts that I 
see are people
trying to use Unix tools, in Windows. I am not talking about the use of 
psql, rather things
like the use of Cygwin and rxvt. Although it is nice when we can do 
that, it should
be consider unsupported.

If you really want the environment, use RDP, VNC, or Citrix and start a 
shell as normal.
Alternatively just use PostgreSQL with SSL and then connect from a 
remote psql terminal.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
