Excellent point, but I assumed that Troy had already investigated that
code since the suggestion has already been made in this thread.  I have
the impression that because of the way CMake launches build commands,
the BB technique doesn't work all by itself(?)

Is that really equivalent?  IIUC, at the very least, minimal.hpp still
defines your main() for you.

I wasn't proposing an additional kind of test; I was proposing a
facility one could #include in a TU that would suppress error dialogs on
Windows.
