NEW: Pseudo unified console / GUI app on Windows
Hello
Starting with revision 9251, it's possible to open cmd.exe, type "inkscape" while having Inkscape's installation directory in PATH, and get a working console-mode executable. This is done by shipping a slightly modified version of the well-known inkscapec.exe helper, renamed to inkscape.com and placed in the same directory as inkscape.exe. This approach looks a bit hacky, but it's used by several of Microsoft's tool that also implement both GUI and command line mode.
Regards, Krzysztof
Hello again
As of 9281, Windows command line interface works exactly like the Unix one.
The files no longer need to be specified relative to Inkscape's installation directory, because the current directory is not changed on startup. Please test on Windows for any bugs this might have introduced (I didn't notice any so far - resources are found correctly, and extensions work).

Great news Krzystof! However, it does not work for me. When I am in a directory with "image.svg", running "inkscape image.svg" gives:
inkscape image.svg
** (inkscape.exe:824): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* sp_repr_read_file(const gchar*, const gchar*): assertion `Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS )' failed

Sorry I spoke too soon. Inkscape can indeed find the file now! Nice.
Exporting to pdf does not work however. It leaves a blank image...

When running inkscape.exe from within gdb, I no longer get to see g_message debug messages. Running inkscape.com from gdb is not the same as it does not reproduce this crash: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/578969
