It's not hard to abstract away the SCM-related code. I'm trying to
stay away from platform-specific code, but in this case I ran into
these issues (and also the lack of option to prevent the cmd.exe
window from showing).

Do you recall any reason for why that code does not use CreateProcess
and friends? Is it because of mingw or cygwin? If it's not, maybe I'll
take a stab at using CreateProcess and seeing how far can I go.

Will do.
