As something of a newby, I added the -nwindows option only on the 
production builds (I have a debug package which writes to file and to 
the console if stdout is open)

E.G.

    package Linker is
       ...........
       case Mode is
          when "Debug" =>

          when "Production" =>
             for Default_Switches ("ada") use Linker'Default_Switches 
("-mwindows");
       end case;
    end Linker;
