Flag for turning off UI related features

Using codeblocks as a 'build system' (codeblocks --build myHugeProject.workspace) is currently impossible on *nix boxes when no X(/Gtk) is available. Since the build output window can not be disabled, codeblocks fails to start with a message like

> Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?

I propose a flag like "--nogui" should be added that completely disables any window related functionality.

This would then enable codeblocks to be used to build projects who don't have makefiles but a .workspace file on servers who don't run X (e.g. Launchpad).
