Unless something has changed recently, you can't run the Posix dll under
the windows subsystem.  That is, you can link you program to run under
various subsystems, like: windows, console, posix, native.  The Posix stuff
won't run under the Windows subsystem, and I believe the windows stuff
doesn't run under the Posix subsystem.

You may have to specify a different linker option to get your program
to run.  And I suppose it is possible that some other code (like the RTS)
is dependent on the Windows subsystem, which might preclude Posix ss stuff
altogther.  Then you have to build it as a separate program and using
interprocess communication to make it play.

Forgive my "unnetly" response, but why don't you call Thomson?
