Presumably the original pythonw.exe was called that because it's marked 
as a windows-app. In win-speak, that means it has a gui. Applications 
that are not so-marked are console-apps, and get a console created if 
they weren't already started from one. That's where stdin/stdout/stderr 
get pointed.
