#10809: Command line is parsed but nothing prints

Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Port: Win32

-------------------+-------------------------
 ScummVM 2.1.0git3879-gb203b61b38 (Nov 13 2018 04:24:02)
 Windows 7 64bit

 Args *are* getting parsed. I can launch a specific game or set debug
 flags, for example.

 But running scummvm.exe with --help or --list-targets doesn't print
 anything.

 Running a port of the linux 'file' command tells me the dev build was
 compiled as a GUI executable (as opposed to console).

     PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS
 Windows
 \\

 IIRC GUI executables can't use stdout?
