I think this is workable solution for windows. I confirmed that new 
binary honors options from darrc when run by DarGUI. The only last thing 
needed would be to clearly document this behaviour in some windows 
specific documentation -- I do not think there is currently any windows 
specific section in main documentation, so maybe a file 
README.WINDOWS.txt with contents of the above cited paragraphs would 
suffice.

Thank you for quick fix!
