Also, a minor issue I have found with extprog is that a console window pops up briefly. Besides the visual ugliness what really worries me is if that could cause the helper invocation to fail on contexts lacking a GUI environment. For instance, when called from the task scheduler, a web server, or any other program not started inside an user session.

Hm. Given that you aren't spawning the program, none of the usual tricks to prevent the window popping will work.
