Details

The various winmain functions that just call main can be replaced with passing
/ENTRY:mainCRTStartup to the linker. that way, you can use main() even in a GUI
APP (without the console window).

This also avoids depending on the seemingly undocumented __argc/__argv
variables, and it avoids violating C++
