I would be somewhat surprised if this code would have any effect in
the trunk.  The code in question looked like this:

  if (!wincap.pty_needs_alloc_console () && newargv.iscui && myself->ctty == -1)
    {
      si.dwFlags |= STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
      si.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE;
    }

Given that pty_needs_alloc_console() is false only on 9x, and is always
true on NT, the above code was only executed on 9x.  Since 1.7 dropped
9x support, the code could go away.  Shoot if I missed something.
