xterm is a console program?

[Early Ehlinger]

I tried setting up a "Quick Launch" shortcut directly to xterm.exe and was
surprised to see that it comes up with a console window.

The workaround of course is to set up the shortcut to set the shortcut going
to C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe and let run.exe launch xterm.

My question is, why not let xterm be an honest-to-goodness Windows subsystem
application?  A simple WinMain that parses GetCommandLine and calls main()
would do the trick, I think.  Is this something that has been considered
before?
