On MS-Windows 7 or later, emacs.exe could automate this by
setting the System.AppUserModel.RelaunchCommand property on its
windows.  It would have to detect whether the property should
refer to emacs.exe or runemacs.exe.  Because runemacs.c sets
start.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE when it calls CreateProcess,
emacs.exe could perhaps call GetConsoleWindow and
IsWindowVisible, or call GetStartupInfo and check wShowWindow.
Some of the necessary functions don't exist in MS-Windows 9X,
so GetProcAddress would have to be used.
