It's not very pretty.  AFAIK, you need an hWnd to the console. Then
you can do a ShowWindow() on it.

If this is a "debug" feature, is it worth the trouble?

My "solution" for my console apps:

HWND	hWnd=0;
static BOOL CALLBACK EnumProc(HWND h, LPARAM thread)
{	if( (DWORD)thread == GetWindowThreadProcessId(h,NULL) )
	{	hWnd=h;
		return FALSE;
	};
	return TRUE;
}
void _stdcall GetConsoleHWND(void)
{	long iterations=0;
	hWnd=0;
	while(hWnd==0)
	{	iterations++;
		EnumWindows(EnumProc,(LPARAM)GetCurrentThreadId());
		if( iterations > 100000L ) break;
	};
}
I have no idea why I need to do the iterations thing. Iterations
usually run in the 60-100 range for me. Go fig.
