That depends on how it's coded.  The -mwindows switch alone doesn't
cause the abscense of stdio.

int WINAPI WinMain (
    HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR     lpszCmdParm,

I couldn't get your foo.c to produce any output in a cmd shell. (It does in
a Cygwin shell)

Now, that's strange, try this on for size:

foo 2> err > out
type out
type err

So, now the question is, where is the console buffer? Perhaps WriteConsole will help?
