Both ways of compilation produce a working result, but:

* the second version (without subsystem windows) does not return
  instantly to the calling process, but waits for termination.
  Personally I can live with that, but "normal" Windows programs
  return immediately after startup.

* the first version behaves correct, but the linker error message
  is more disturbing than the misbehaviour before.

So, the original posted question still is up: "Where and what is
"_WinMainCRTStartup"?

Greetings,
Ulrich.
