I don't see any error, OTOH, it launches emacs in a hidden console that
you cannot get at, so isn't much use.
I don't see any reason why someone would want to use runemacs to launch
emacs -nw, since the sole purpose of runemacs is to suppress the console
window when launching emacs from an icon on Windows, so I don't think
this needs fixing urgently. If we are going to fix this though, it would
be better if emacs was run in the same console window rather than
launching another one, as the latter may not be an option if the user is
using telnet/ssh, or a full screen command prompt. Also we need to
handle --no-window-system and the case where no GUI is available as well
as -nw.
