You can use the STARTUPINFO struct to hide it (I assume this is already in
place, since we dont see other apps launch), but the security problems
combined with the extra overhead of modifying the client makes me wonder if
it's worth while.

PyMW could do away with the script by using a compiled executable as the
main-app. All it really needs to do is find the Python interpreter and then
launch it with a couple parameters.

Of course, it's nice to be able to use the batch script because then we
don't have dependencies on hardware, but I don't know how much utility it
will have for other BOINC users.
