Transforms the process type under Mac OS X (darwin platform) in foreground mode if we're running with the windowed loader: this allows to both have focus and a dock icon for the running application, while the unpacker helper application still doesn't get a dock icon - to do so and still have a non-Carbon loader for console apps, this patch adds a windowed loader (with specific cflags and ldflags) and its debug counterpart.
