Have Cook Commandlet output go to stdout?

We are currently experimenting with using the cook commandlet to cook assets on our build system.

The commandlet is run from a CMD shell on Windows but right after starting it does open its own console window where it displays its output.
Since we are running it from a command line environment such as a build server we want it to output directly to the initial stdout channel instead of this additional console window.

Looking at the FEngineLoop::PreInit method, it looked like adding -stdout as a command line switch on the commandlet would cause it to really use the initial stdout channel but this does not change a thing and looking at the code further seems to indicate that the whole commandlet actually redirects all “stdout” output to its own custom output window.

Is there a way to disable this highly undesirable behaviour?
There is no need to open an additional console window when already launched from a command line shell. Also, many build environments do actually not allow windows to be opened (when run as services for instance on Windows) so I suspect that this might cause issues in these cases.

This works in C#, you could write your own wrapper that handles output as you want (in this case it directs it to Log, after the invoke which would probably be needless in a simple console app.

void StartProcess(string toolExeOrBatch, string cmdline)
{
            System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo oStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
            oStartInfo.FileName = toolExeOrBatch;
            oStartInfo.Arguments = cmdline;
            oStartInfo.ErrorDialog = true;
            oStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            oStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            oStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
            System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(oStartInfo);
            process.OutputDataReceived += ToolOutputHandler;
            process.BeginOutputReadLine();

            while (!process.HasExited)
            {
                Application.DoEvents(); // This keeps your form responsive by processing events
            }

            bool bSuccess = process.ExitCode != 0;
            if(bSuccess)
            {
                Log("Calling External Process-  Completed!");
            }
            else
            {
                Log("Calling External Process-  FAILED! Return code: " + process.ExitCode.ToString());
            }
            process.Close();
