Summary:                    cmake-gui does not display text in console
Description: 
Cmake-gui does not display any text in a windows console.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Start console: cmd.exe.
2. Execute: cmake-gui --help.


Additional Information: 
I expect the help text to be displayed, just like cmake does.
Instead nothing seems to happen, no gui, no help text.

Running: cmake-gui --help cmake-help.txt creates the file with the expected
text. I was looking for the command-line parameters (-H and -B).


Probably the cause is that when writing to the console in a Qt GUI project (in
windows 8.1) the text is not written to the parent console. Redirecting the text
works.

To attach to the parent console I once did (when not starting the gui): 
AttachConsole(-1);freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stdout);
But this leaves the console open...
