For debugging, it's useful to have the MS-DOS window stay open, with any
error output, and I *think* that's what php-win.exe does.

So, use php-win.exe for debugging, and switch to php.exe for production.

I personally always just opened up an MS-DOS window to start the php.exe
though, and found that "easy enough" to use for both.
