Supposedly urxvt 7.x supports tabs via a Perl module by running it as:
# urxvt -pe tabbed
Supposedly this has been possible since urxvt 7.3 (see
http://linux.die.net/man/7/urxvt). Why does this not work under Cygwin?
Because urxvt is configured with:
--disable-perl \
and perl is required for tabbed stuff to work. The reason cygwin's urxvt
is compiled that way is to vaoid the 10MB dependency on perl just to
install urxvt, for a feature most people will not use.
You can easily download the source archive, remove the offending
configure option above from the handy .cygport script, and rebuild it...
$ cygport rxvt-unicode-X-7.7-6.cygport all
