  I checked: you can't redirect its error output at all, even in a genuine
cmd.exe shell with cygwin having nothing to do with it.  It must indeed be
using the console directly.  <checks imports>  Curiouser and curiouser... it
links msvcrt.dll and imports printf and wprintf, but then it goes and actually
does everything the hard way with lowlevel console i/o in unicode.  How peculiar.

    cheers,
