I've really not found a good free solution and so I still use MKS Toolkit.As an aside, the realy stumbling block that I have with cygwin is that it's pty handling screws with the way that Java, a the Java Service Wrapper and stdout interact. Basically the combination works just fun under MKS sh and cmd.exe and doesn't under cygwin. Very frustrating.

So a Gnu-compatible shell (such as Cygwin bash) enhances Emacs tremendously.
