Just another Wine-ism.  The real rundll32 and regsvr32 are not console apps
either, and Wine has them as console apps.  Also, a "GUI" app doesn't need
to really have any window at all, hidden or not. ;)  Regsvr32 is one example
of a GUI app that does not create any windows.  On the other hand, a GUI app
can still use stdin, stdout, and stderr when they are valid, for use with
redirection or pipes.
