@lazka what do you think? Run with this, reducing the diff relative to Cygwin?

I worked a bit more on this, but have to concentrate on other projects now. @ctrueden feel free to give this project to @apal4 or @hinerm, or to do it...

Probably we need to force `--system` on Windows when the updater is called :-(
My findings: the `--update update` actually worked, it just happened not needing to do anything. The output was swallowed by the aforementioned problem: we cannot easily attach to a console...
I suspect this is a problem that stems from the fact that we call `javaw.exe` and try to reattach the console, which works only partially.
I agree that the best place would be SciJava Common, but then we would have to force this dependency down the ImgLib2 team's throat because we need the ImgLib2 classes...
Well, the problem is really that last time I tried to convince @tpietzsch to separate concerns, and put things _unrelated_ to image processing into scijava-common, I managed to be unconvincing....
