If you have no need for the console (no screen writes, stdin/stdout )
then you could just substitute WinMain() for main(), and change your
compiler/linker options.  There's nothing that says that WinMain
*must* create a window.

If you _do_ need the console for i/o, then you would need the Handle
for the Console Window, then you could SW_HIDE it.
You can use
	SetConsoleTitle()
to give your console a unique name, then
	EnumWindows()
 to find the window with that name.
