This means less patching for MXE, which seems like a good thing. I hope somebody here can comment about this. Perhaps we should add "-mwindows" to gcc invocations in MXE by default.
No, please don't do it for everything, if it needs to be done it should be only in the parts that need it.
The flag -mwindows is only for GUI applications, there is a corresponding -mconsole (both for "Windows" programs, they have no meaning for any other OS). It marks executables differently, I have no idea what it would do to libraries.
