It works well for any exe you encounter. For example I had a program
that would spawn sox.exe and pass it data to process (sound data).
Under Windows 98 the normal spawning process opened up a console window
every time sox was launched.  There are ways of dealing with this, like
spawning a helper program that creates a hidden console and then runs
sox.exe for me.  But I found that toggling the windows subsystem flag in
the sox.exe binary I was using worked just great.  sox ran and processed
the data but no console window was ever displayed.

There is a utility that ships with Visual Studio to do this, but the
perl program is a little bit cheaper for me.
