Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Win32 API dev is that "fun" yes.
Is #2 the helper executable one? If so, then I'm afraid that is not the most viable solution for the long term.
The way to go is this:
1. For now implement the event loop and handle WM_CLOSE. JtR core would be best.
2. Further along the road we should convert to --no-tty option and then we can close JtR just by sending a "q\n".
I'm happy with just supporting a specific version of JtR going forwards and not looking backwards. Johnny is supposed to run on modern desktops and there's no reason why such a desktop can't run a fresh JtR.
