Every time you say that I wonder: Why don't you just capture the output
by replacing the stdout/stderr handles? If Plink is a CUI application
then you should be able to change a DWORD in the PE header
(IMAGE_NT_HEADERS::OptionalHeader.Subsystem) to make it a GUI
application (Prevents the console from appearing but everything else
seems to work okay, YMMV, though as I've not thoroughly tested this
concept). Then just replace the stdout/stderr handles when you call
CreateProcess() and you get the best of both world's without having to
maintain anything.

I don't use Plink/TortoisePlink so I don't really care what you do, but
I do wonder why you keep saying it can't be done. Does Plink not write
it's data to the stdout/stderr streams? If not, then I completely
understand why you don't do it. But if it does write to those streams,
then I don't see any good reason not to catch those messages.
