Parameter like --show-console will be passed to bom generator (bom_tool.exe
in example), but we need tell wxExecute to run command with flag
wxEXEC_SHOW_CONSOLE. And I propose "!" sign at begining of the command line
to indicate that it must be run with that flag, it may be checked like it
done with pythonw in bom_pythonw_exec.patch.
