How can I disable/alter Alt-Tab win32 switching behavour?

I don't think our problem is so much trapping Alt+Tab as it is 
presenting a comprehensive way to get out of Cygwin/XFree86 when Alt+Tab 
is disabled.  That would be the real challenge.  It is doable, but it is 
bigger than just disabling Alt+Tab.
