 * @class   vtkWin32ProcessOutputWindow
 * @brief   Win32-specific output window class
 *
 * vtkWin32ProcessOutputWindow executes a process and sends messages
 * to its standard input pipe.  This is useful to have a separate
 * process display VTK errors so that if a VTK application crashes,
 * the error messages are still available.
