[Qt-interest] stdout of MSWin GUI application run from console

[Witteveen, Arnt]

His code uses only one fucntion really, "AttachConsole". From it's help
here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681952%28VS.85%29.aspx
when you pass it -1 as param, "Use the console of the parent of the
current process."

I'm guessing that if a non-console application spawns his application,
it might still not work? 

But it should work in most normal situations (I didn't try), it uses a
documented windows api function that does just that it seems.
