In Hydra, i simply changed main entry point from winMain() to main(),
and then i were able to print to console using printf() etc.
The side effect of it, that when you run VM from explorer, it opens a
console window,
so you end up with two windows - console and graphic.
and obvious, when you running it from command-line its using a console
from which you run it.

I din't explored the way , how to make it to not open console but
still have stdin/stdout working.
