I've since switched to the solution documented by Simon Tatham (PuTTY author)
at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/cygwin-terminal-windo
w.html. Despite being tagged as "currently rather long and involved" at one
point, it takes less than 5 minutes to setup - especially if Cygwin is already
installed with "make" and "gcc".
I agree with the notes on that solution, that the only thing to make this
process better would be to have Cygwin's telnetd properly fixed so that a
special cygtermd was not necessary.
Since doing this, I haven't looked back. I no longer have to worry about any
issues specific to puttycyg, or having a working puttycyg version available for
the rare occasion that a new PuTTY version is made available. The cygtermd
solution will also work with any of PuTTY's daily development snapshots -
something that would have been difficult (at least to maintain) with puttycyg.
For me, puttycyg was an excellent project - one that I've used for probably 5+
years, and have shared with many others on my development teams. However,
since the release of PuTTY 0.61 (containing the fix necessary for the cygtermd
solution to work) and now 0.62 just on 2011-12-10, I honestly no longer see the
need for puttycyg.

It seems that there are at least three solid replacements which meet PuTTYcyg's
original goal of a better Cygwin terminal without requiring X11:
* PuTTY 0.61 + cygtermd
* mintty
* rxvt
If you know others, feel free to list them here.
Unfortunately, I can no longer maintain PuTTYcyg and so the project is looking
for an active maintainer (if it's useful to continue maintaining it).

Yeah, I started looking around and found KiTTY. I like it but it would be even
better if I could group sessions in a window like putty connection manager.
I'll use that for now until/unless I find something better.

Well, KiTTY is PuTTYcyg. Or was: I can't tell if it has been maintained within
KiTTY or not; you'll probably have to ask the maintainer. It might be better
to use KiTTY with cygtermd.
Note that mintty is also minimized version of PuTTY, but with the Cygwin
component compiled in to the same binary so that mintty requires Cygwin to run.

Yep, mintty is based on PuTTY's terminal emulation and Windows UI parts, but
leaves out the networking functionality, which is already provided by Cygwin
packages such as openssh. Cygwin's latest setup.exe installs mintty as the
default terminal.

PuTTYCyg provides a feature that MinTTY does not, logging term output to disk,
which I use all the time. Very useful for capturing process output and so
forth.
It will be a sad day when the most recently released version of PuTTYCyg
doesn't work with a Cygwin update.

Keith - nothing against PuTTYCyg, but please review
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/cygwin-terminal-windo
w.html for use with PuTTY directly. Under PuTTY, under Session/Logging, enable
"Session logging". I just tested this, and it works with at least the
"Printable output" option.

@Keith Mintty has the --log command line option for that, and there's also the
'script' utility for logging specific commands.
