precmd () {
echo -n \\033\]2\;$USER＠$HOST:$_\\07;
}
works for XTerm and PuTTY.
using print -P in zsh gives you access to the full prompt expansion
variables listed in the zshmisc man page.
precmd () {print -Pn "\e]0;%n＠%m: %~\a"}
The many other options to print are in zshbuiltins. If you don't need the
prompt variables you can use:
cmd /c "title %USER%＠%HOST%"
in the cygwin window to set the title.
