It doesn't require libx11.dll. It can USE libx11.dll under certain
circumstances. Basically, it dynamically loads (using dlopen()) either
libX11.dll or libW11.dll depending on the value of the DISPLAY
environment variable. Try this:
'rxvt.exe -display :0 -title rxvt-noX -e bash -login'
and you'll get the "native Windows, nonX" behavior.
