Comment:

 Closing ticket. This is best handled by updating the
 [PackagingInstructions#Applicationbatchfiletemplate Packaging Instructions
 # batch file template] with the recommended approach (done) and letting
 the maintainers adjust as suits them.

 Also a tweak to the original suggestion to avoid hard coding osgeo4w_root:
 If `bin\foo.bat` use:
 {{{
 @echo off
 call "%~dp0\o4w_env.bat"
 start "Foo window title" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\foo.exe" %*
 @echo on
 }}}
 If `apps\foo\foo.bat` use:
 {{{
 @echo off
 call "~dp0\..\..\bin\o4w_env.bat
 start "Foo window title" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\foo\foo.exe" %*
 @echo on
 }}}
