    Hmmm--that's curious. Well, Robin or I will (eventually) get this working in
    a consistent way. I've been mucking around with this some, and it seems like
    calling the process with flags:
    StartupInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
    StartupInfo.wShowWindow = SW_MINIMIZE;
    in the STARTUPINFO structure associated with calling femmview, in conjunction
    with making sure that the point properties output window never gets shown at
    all in the case of a -windowhide call seems to get the desired effect.
    However, it still seems to steal the focus for an instant when it starts up
    femmview, which is an undesirable result.

    Anyhow, what I think that I want to do is to make it so that, in general, any
    femm-related lua stuff can use either the underscore or non-underscore
    convention and get exactly the same effect. This is trivial to with regards
    to function names, but just takes a little bit more care for flags like
    -windowhide or -window_hide.
