Good!

I think writing to stdout does not work with eteheral on windows, the
more, just yesterday while working on main.c I've skim-read some
comment that hinted me that writing to stdout might cause problems to
the capture child on windows.
Ulf, can you confirm that?
In that case I I'll have override lua's "print" and write our own that
uses g_log instead of printf and make sure that stdout is not directly
accessible from Lua when running ethereal (at least on Windows).
-- BTW you can try this instead
if gui_enabled() then
win = TextWindow.new("Hello")
win:set("Hello World!")
-- This window will be behind ethereal's main window as soon as that
one draws.
else
print("Hello World!")

Yeah, that would help!
