Well, it was mostly theoretical pondering, I don't have any particular
program in mind that I would know needs to be started in this way.

And anyway, GLib-using software that would know to use such a new flag
would obviously have such intimate knowledge of the program it is
starting, and know that it is running on Win32, that it could as well
call spawn*(), CreateProcess(), ShellExecute() or whatever directly.
