with standard Vim, this doesn't wait for it to close, it continues as
soon as Vim has done the Windows equivalent of "forking", which happens
at some point during startup.

now that gvim has _started_ (and relinquished the console), unregister
it. This will probably prevent any use of Vim as an OLE server, so you
could just as well compile it with OLE=no.
