Add -mwindows to link flags, correct wording #6

Closed emlai closed 8 years ago

mwindows is not a library. Quoting from https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-04/msg00027.html:

What does -mwindows mean?

It just means to set a flag in the PE header that tells the OS not to allocate a console for the program when started. This is usually the desired behavior when the program has a GUI, because you don't want the console window appearing in that case. It is really unfortunate that somebody decided to call this "-mwindows", it should really be -mno-console, which compliments its reciprocal option -mconsole (which is the default.)
