And that's not a bad thing if you're developing. It gives you a nice way to follow what's
your code is doing, instead of tediously stepping through the code. I like the console ;-)

In release code (the binaries from the site) I think it's not necessary to have a console.
Use a switch in the config.nmake to en/disable this feature...
