Perhaps, but I'm not sure of the ramifications. I think if you have a 
main() then you're going to get STD_HANDLES. Plus there's the whole 
concern about launching run[2].exe itself without a cmdbox, when it is 
used as a shortcut target.

This whole entrypoint thing is tied up in that, or at least it used to 
be.  Now, that may ONLY apply to the mingw[64]-compiled version, in 
which case I could do a

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
    return realmain(argc, argv);
}
#endif
and avoid the -e WinMain AT 16 link argument. (Except I think I arrange to 
only do -e WinMain AT 16 on mingw...hmm...)

If you look closely at WinMain, it basically parses the result from 
GetCommandLine() into argc,argv, and then delegates. The only 
conceivable reason to do that, rather than just have a main(), was if 
you NEED to use WinMain() as the entry point for some other reason. Like 
ensuring that you "work" when compiled as a non-console app and don't 
pop up a dosbox...
