Not if you want to support all versions of Windows.

Background:

You can do (work-around) this in another way.
Don't use -mwindows.
In the start-up icon, properties, set to 'minimized'.
Now, at start a command shell is opened, but immediately minimized.

There is, however, a problem with mingw version 3.4.5 (I think). Not only
the command shell is minimized, but also the program window itself!

In the past I used an older mingw, and gtk1.2, and the above approach worked
fine.
After swtiching to gtk2.0, and forced to use a newer mingw compiler, the
described problem pops up.

Using -mwindows gives for me another problem: if the program executes a
command, e.g.:
system("bzip2 foo.bz2")
then a command shell pops up for a short while. So, -mwindows only works for
the program itself.

How can I solve this?
1. How to prevent that the program window is minimized together with the
command shell?
And/Or
2. How to prevent that a system call causes a command shell popup?
