/**
 *  This is a wrapper program to start lyx under windows hiding its
 *  console window. It is adapted from program hidec at
 *  http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49184&mode=threaded
 *
 *  This wrapper should be named lyx.exe and placed in the same directory
 *  as the real lyx executable which _must_ be renamed as lyxc.exe
 *
 *  Usage: 
 *      hidecmd [VAR=val ...] [<params>]
 *  where:
 *         VAR=val    set VAR=val (multiple settings may be specified)
 *         <params>   parameters for the real lyx executable
 *
 *  How to build this program:
 *    msvc:
 *	    cl.exe hidecmd.c /GA /O1 /Felyx.exe /link /subsystem:windows \
 *	           kernel32.lib advapi32.lib user32.lib libcmt.lib
 *    mingw/gcc:
 *   	gcc -mwindows hidecmd.c -o lyx.exe
 *
