The only code I've seen posted to do that pops up a console window if
you run "ethereal -v"; it doesn't pop up a console window for arbitrary
printed messages, which is what Gilbert was talking about.

The way to handle this might be to, in Ethereal on Windows, check
whether it's built as a console or a GUI app (yes, it might be built as
a console app - I build it as a console app when testing it), and, if
it's a GUI app, call "g_log_set_handler()" to set a log handler for the
default domain and all levels, and have that routine

	pop up a console if one hasn't already been popped up, and set
	"stdin" and "stdout" as per your patch;

	call "g_log_default_handler()" with the arguments passed into
	our handler.
