You don't need that to run windows apps on linux if your system is set up correctly (binfmt-support).
wine (or wineserver should start automagically and (in most cases) seamless.
At least if I configure it as console app (also for gui apps) it works fine.

Tested on debian with a simple console project and a wxWidgets project with a library and a main (gui-)app, both compiled with MinGW32 cross-compiler, and wxWidgets cross-libs for the second.

No, because it is not a terminal emulator, but shell emulator or something like that...

You can use:
Code
#ifndef _WIN32
system("clear");
#else
system("cls");
#endif
