This seems a reasonable way out.  Just like we have pythonw.exe, we
could add pythong.exe and pythongw.exe (or pythonwg.exe?).  I guess
it's time for a README.txt file to be installed explaining all the
different executables...  By default the g versions would not be used
unless invoked explicitly.
