Yes and that's exactly what I need for my explorer thumbnail extension, so as to allow it to load the renderer. (Although I'm wondering if the renderer itself could be broken into it's own shared dll, rather than static linked to reduce memory footprint)

The problem is, I guess, how to allow the console for some people but to not display the annoying console for everybody.

It's probably time that we re-examine the Inkscape-as-a-DLL problem. This way we could provide several small executables, like Inkscape w/console, Inkscape w/o console, and Inkview, all calling the large main DLL.

I seem to have lost the ability to run Inkscape as a console app in Windows.

Same here. I had console a build or two back, but it's gone now (r15870)

Looks like you have to "put it in -mconsole" - according to Bob the FAQ is wrong ;)
