Feature request: Add option to output console text to origin CMD window

Issue
I have a ROM that produces debug output. At the moment, I can view that from desmume's own CMD window. But I need to be able to redirect it to another process or file, for further processing in real-time. So could the option to output to the CMD window the desmume.exe is started from be added? That way I can do something like desmume | my_script.
this should already work. but you may have been deceived by something I just pushed a fix for

Ah no I saw that commit after I had this issue. desmume doesn't seem to print to the parent CMD window at all on Windows.
it will absolutely print to stdout if you pipe or redirect it. or maybe you have to redirect it TOO, if you want to pipe it. 1>CON | pipeprog for instance

It seems like if I redirect to file/pipe to another process, it does sort-of work. It only flushes the data very occasionally, making it not really usable "live".
I did some investigation when I wrote about it here and that seems normal, generally. But I said I pushed a fix for it which does flush the nocash and ideas printing on every single print message (because that's a special case). How are you sending the messages? lua prints?

That seems to have fixed it. I'm playing a ROM hack, I think its probably using its own nocashprint function.
Also, I noticed that desmume freezes after a few seconds if you select text in the CMD window, although it seems like that happens back in the commit before your ones - 1754c18 and also way back with v0.9.13 too.
