Can a Windows application invoke a non-windows application with an
``execv'' type of function?  Say the non-windows application just does
regular printf's or no screen output at all.  How would it work?
Would it appear in its own window?  If it looked like:

	main()
	{
		printf("Hello, world\n");
	}

would the window pop-up and then disappear again quickly?  Is there a
more elegant way for the windows app and the non-windows app to
communicate other than file I/O?
