Well, you have to provide a "WinMain()" for that to work, but that's now
in the code in in the CVS tree.

Should we make it build it as a console app by default, and require that
the "config.nmake" be changed to make it a GUI app?  And, if so, should
only the CVS version default to a console app, with the distribution
tweaked to build it as a GUI app, or should even the distribution
provide it as a console app (on the theory that most people who build
from source on Win32 are developers)?
