This program launch app given in parameter and detect it is console or gui app. Previously, I created cli2gui for terminal app purposes. Developer may only link console app with cli2gui and terminal will be spawn (if needed), when user ran this application.
Nobody uses cli2gui, so I create WXConsoleSpawner. Difference is: cli2gui needs developer to change application to work in some way (link with my library), but WXConsoleSpawner do not require this. Instead, only one think is user must install it and ran app by WXConsoleSpawner.

1. go to /bin (for example)
2. right-click on icon
3. go to activities/task

That's all!
