I think it's a bit strange that the windows version would show a message box, while on other operating systems an error is printed to stderr. Very few people run a GUI from a terminal that remains open anyway.

@sipa: I'm simply mimicing the behaviour of most programs... On linux, people expect --help output in the terminal (which can be copied, piped, redirected, etc). On windows they expect a message box (as there is no other way).
I really don't like the message box to be the default.
