I wonder if we should change the name of Config.gui to
Config.noConsole. It corresponds to the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag
in the Windows API, for which the documentation says:
"The process is a console application that is being run without
a console window. Therefore, the console handle for the
application is not set. This flag is ignored if the application
is not a console application [...]"
I know some people don't like negative flags, but in this case
it seems more precise. It doesn't create a GUI, it prevents
the creation of a console.

I think noConsole or suppressConsole is acceptable, with
preference to the latter. It seems to me gui is very
mis-representative of what it is.
