The idea is not to have to care - it's the same application
whether run as a pure GUI or from a console. It erases the
MSWin distinction between GUI and console application (just
as in Linux/X11 etc.)

It's compiled as a "GUI" application, but if it's launched from a
console, then the parent process will have a console, so the stdio
etc. can be re-attached. This wasn't possible on Win2k, but
is on XP and latter.
