I think the code that doesn't seem to make sense is there for historical reasons and could be cleaned up. IIRC, it used to be necessary to choose GUI or console based output on W32 at compile time, but Andrew Innes or Geoff Voelker fixed it so a single executable could support both (and the -nw option) around 19.27 or so. I guess some of the old code is still hanging around.
