Public bug reported:

focusWinByAppName in WinUtil.cc attempts to use
GetWindowModuleFileName() to search for applications by executable name
but there are multiple bugs in that function:

1. GetWindowModuleFileName() only works for windows owned by the calling
process (i.e. Sikuli itself): http://support.microsoft.com/?id=228469

2. GetWindowModuleFileName() returns a fully-qualified path, and I think
looking for a substring in this path is not a good idea. Instead it
should look at executable filename only, i.e. the last component of the
path.

3. focusWinByAppName does not initialise the "filename" variable and it
does not check to see whether GetWindowModuleFileName() succeeded or
failed, so when it fails the "filename" variable is uninitialised.

One consequence of this is that if I run Sikuli from a path containing
the word "Foo" and then I try to call App.focus('Foo') with the
intention of focusing an application with that word in the title bar,
Sikuli may set the focus to the wrong window, depending on the order of
windows returned by EnumWindows().

I am using Sikuli IDE 1.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit).
