Linking applications with  --Wl,subsystem,windows is easy, but
with the fork-exec problems, how do you spawn a child process ?
The system command works, but it triggers the pop-up window, I assume
there would have to be a windows version of bash built, since those
commands are run from a shell ...

CreateProcess does not seem to work from within a gnu-win32 application.
It compiles/links, but the program dies silently on execution. Any other
ideas ?
