Looks really nice and widely useful!

One tiny suggestion - on Windows, to detect whether you are running 
under the new terminal or not, it might be easier to just check for one 
of the WT_SESSION or WT_PROFILE_ID environment variables and traverse 
the process ancestors only if those variables do not exist.
