Summary: PyCWnd.SetActiveWindow raises invalid error

Initial Comment:
PyCWnd.SetActiveWindow()  sometimes fails with "The window was created in a different thread and can not be mapped.", though the function did its job.

Thats obviously (just) because it tries to convert the return value (previous window / CWnd* may be temporary according MSDN) with
"return PyCWnd::make( UITypeFromCObject(pRel), pRel)->GetGoodRet();"   which uses FromHandlePermanent and some thread check or so.
Perhaps it needs a less rigid converter or return Non instead of failure.
