Purpose

This api allows a window to be move to the front and given focus.   This API is needed since JS web apps have no capability to perform such a function.  

An example use case might be:  the main window might be minimized (or otherwise hidden) and the notification shows that the user then clicks on.  The web app needs to ability to bring the window to the foreground and give focus.

Activate API

ssf.activate(windowName);

windowName (string) is the name of the window to bring forward.  It is currently assumed the main window has the name 'main'.  Child windows (if used via window.open) should be given a unique name when created.
