Summary: It adds support of only one instance of an application

Initial Comment:
Small and usefull patch (especially for Pocket PC where
almost every application is a single-instance).

It just adds a necessary API and hello application
could be:

int SmartWinMain( Application & app )
{
	HelloWinClass * testHello = new HelloWinClass;
	if( !Application::IsAppAlreadyRunning() )
	{
		testHello->initAndCreate();
		return app.run();
	}
	else 
	{
		testHello->ActivatePreviousInstance();
		return 0; 
	}
}

Quite easy to understand and it is flexible too.
Please feel free to include to 2.0 version.

This is really great Dmitry! :)
In fact a couple of weeks ago my collegue asked me if we
could include this type of functionality in our Pocket PC
client since sometimes you run the risc of hiding the main
window without any other ways to "showing" it then going to
running programs and choose activate.
This made people often without realizing it fire up a second
instance of our application...

This will go directly into not only the CVS but also as a
feature in my Pocet PC application in my "commercial" life! :)
