[Openmcl-devel] Windows port: how to get rid of pesky console.

[Valentin Baciu]

Hi Kaz,

You could also use
editbin.exe<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4cc7ya5b(v=VS.80).aspx>
which
can be found in many of the Microsoft SDKs and change the SUBSYSTEM property
to WINDOWS instead of CONSOLE. This should work for any Win32 executable
file.
