[fpc-pascal]Suppressing the console window in Win32

[Steve Williams]

Thanks.  I've never had to use that in Delphi since it defaults to GUI if
there is no $APPTYPE directive.  Would it make sense for FPC to default to
GUI if compiled in Delphi compatibility mode?  I'm new to FPC so I don't
know if that has been discussed before.

Incidentally, can there be a warning printed out when the $APPTYPE directive
is in the wrong place and has no effect?

This works (compiles in GUI mode).

program test;

{$APPTYPE GUI}

uses
  GameVision,
  GVUConsole,
  Globals,
  GVUInput;

{$R *.res}


This doesn't (compiles in CONSOLE mode).

program test;

uses
  GameVision,
  GVUConsole,
  Globals,
  GVUInput;

{$R *.res}

{$APPTYPE GUI}
