What compiler are you using? There shouldn't be command shell window, as 
we are using a compiler option to create a windowed application. But 
maybe it does not work on all versions of gcc, or on msvc.

Waiting is required for many applications, and taking care of 2 will 
eliminate the remaining reason why you might want emacsclient to 
disappear immediately. So I don't think there is any good reason to make 
this the default.

The compiler should take care of that. See above.
