//WinMain is the entry point function for winapi applications (equivalent to 
//main). _tWinMain is a placeholder for WinMain (non-unicode fn) or wWinMain 
//(unicode) but, since there is currently no wWinMain defined for MinGW just 
//use  WinMain; if a unicode command line string is required then use the 
//GetCommandLine api function.
