Something clearly needs to be done for the console in windows.
Actually it should always be hidden, but it should be possible for the
user to recover its content if needed. I do not know how this could be
done, though.

Why not, but I would not be against having code in the LyX binary
itself (os_win32.C). This makes more sense than using wrappers, IMO.
