AFAIK, Windows does not allow this sort of hybrid approach (writing console output only when started from a console), otherwise we'd have done it already. Only *nixes tend to do this. On Windows, it's either an all or nothing - no console or with console compile-time factor.
Secondly, there are still quite a few prints that go directly to the system console directly, so those would need to be dealt with before we could completely consider distributing "console" versions and "without-console" versions.
