Clean way to auto-read ~/.Xresources

I install cygwin as admin, and want to change the X resources for one
of the user accounts. Hence I don't want to change the global file
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm for different xterm font bindings.
Instead, I put
xrdb -merge %HOME%/.Xresources
in startxwin.bat, after Xwin is launched. Being aversive to changing
global files, I wonder if there is a way for the user to decide where
to put Xresource specifications to be automatically read?
I notice that /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc causes ~/.Xresources to be read,
but xinitrc doesn't get sourced regardless of whether I start X with
startwin.bat or startxwin.sh. I prefer to use startxwin.bat.
Thanks!
