Even if lyx itself can be made cout-free, scripts such as

I'm not sure about that but I will try.
You need to compile lyx as a windows (rather than console)
application. Last time I tried, lyx opens and closes a console window
for each python script it starts.

Of course it does, it is just a matter of re-directing the stdout/stderr
thanks to pipes.
Then we should replace all system() calls with QProcess. This was not
an option when I was writing hidec.exe, but we are allowed to use
non-GUI Qt classes now.
