Does anyone out there have any idea what's causing this? 

//D/CygWin/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/bin/ld.exe: warning: cannot
find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000

I took a hello world program from a VC++ I've got and compiled it with GCC
using the options -luser32 -lgdi32 -Wl,--subsystem,windows  to remove the
dos box, and I got this warning. The program executes fine, but I'm trying
to ciphen out all of the warnings and such from some of my code. I've seen
mentions to removing the dos box, and compiling win32 apps under GCC, but I
never saw mention as to what this means. Can anyone help me? (Hello.cpp
file is at the end)
