I actually tried to use the -hushspecials command line option,
but it didn't seem to work.
In principle, I quite like having the log window there.

The reason I'd like to have landscape and/or papersize specials
supported
is because I use landscape frequently: my tutorial question sheets are
printed on A4 paper at 12 pt in portrait mode, and then when I do the
solutions I use 10 pt and landscape, two tex pages side by side on the
sheet.
So half the time when I use windvi I want the papersize to he a4 and
half
the time I want it to be a4r. Of course it doesn't do me any harm
changing it again everytime I start windvi, but it is a very minor
annoyance.
