Windows /won't/ open a new window if there's already
an open DOS window the app is invoked from.
Windows will only open a new DOS window if the app
was invoked from a non-DOS window context.
I'm not familiar with msys, just the Visual Studio command line
compiler (cl). It works as I describe. Not sure if the msys/g++
compiler will do something different.

If you decide you need the MS compiler, it is free..
'Visual Studio Express' is a free download, and works perfectly
well for both building fltk and compiling apps.
